13 months post-op, left breast is still almost completely numb and right is somewhat numb.Will I ever gain back feeling?

13 months post-op. Explant with anchor lift and "partial" capsulectomy. I had some complications - became a wound care patient (right breast) for a month - but healed up completely within a month. The issue is that left breast is still almost completely numb (nipple completely) and right is somewhat numb. Also, it's like I have completely different breasts. Scar tissue has made them extremely dense and I must have a yearly sonogram in addition to my mamogram. Is this normal?
