2 years after breast reduction, is it possible that sensation loss will improve?

Avarose478
I had a breast reduction almost 2 years ago. I have very little sensation on my nipples and the bottom of my breasts are completely numb. I have noticed some improvement in nipples after one year is this a good sign it will continue to improve further? I beget terrible itching t left breast but due to the numbness I can’t pinpoint where it’s coming from to get relief. Is this a sign of damage or nerve regeneration?
