2 months post op. Lower breast still numb. Will the feeling come back?

It is very common to experience changes in sensitivity after any operation.

Your skin can become very numb or at times very sensitive.

When this happen can take a long time for the sensitivity to come back but in the majority of the cases it will (can take over a year).

Unfortunately sometimes these changes in sensitivity are permanent and this is more common in the area between the scar and the nipple.

Best wishes

It is normal for the breasts to have a different sensation or even numbness in parts during the healing process. Most often, these sensations will improve over time, usually by 6-12 months. There probably isn't very much you can do to improve this, expect to have some patience during this time. Good luck!

This may be normal if you have severed nerves during the operation. If you experience shooting pains in the near future this is a good indication of nerve regeneration and sensation will come back as soon as the nerves have fully regenerated.
