Nipple sensitivity a year and a half after breast augmentation?

Dear Mili,   Sorry about your over sensitive nipple. In my practice, when ever there is skin over sensitivity, regardless of the type  of surgery, I recommend treatment based on Johns Hopkins department of plastic surgery study. In my experience I found it to be very efficient.   According to their recommendation, I advise my patients to use soft cloth, like wool, velvet, cotton etc and rub  the sensitive area three times a day for 5 minutes each time. You will be surprise how effective is that technique. However, be patient,  because it take 6-8 weeks,  or sometimes longer  to realize the improvement.                   Best of luck,                                          Dr Widder

Nipple and areola sensitivity after breast augmentation is certainly a known change. It happens in a certain number of women and tends to settle out over the first year. Those with sensitivity changes beyond one year tend to persist over time, but I have seen changes occur several years down the road.I would discuss the matter with your surgeon. Even when you're one year out… I would still expect some change.I wish you the best.Dr. Gabbay.

I agree with the consensus that this is nerve regeneration and may take several years to recover.  Frequently hypersensitivity is a good sign and may precede recovery of feeling in the nipple.  Massaging the area may help to desensitize the uncomfortable feeling.

I hope this helps.
