Dear cisne83,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

While nipple hypersensitivity is common after breast augmentation, the fact that you feel a difference in your implant at 3 months suggest that you should see your plastic surgeon for an examination in person to make certain that all is well.  Is important for examination and person and not following Internet advice.
