I'm inbetween a 32DDD and a 32E and getting a breast reduction in 2 months to become a 32C. My main concern is my nipple sensitivity. How will this affect my sex life?
Answer: Difficult to Predict Nipple Sensitivity Thanks for your question. While surgeons can take steps to preserve normal nipple sensation, it's not guaranteed. Some patients experience an increase in sensation, some a decrease, and many don't experience any change at all. Keep in mind that a temporary loss of sensation is common after surgery. It's important to give your breasts adequate time to heal before drawing any conclusions about your long-term situation.

Answer: The Horndeski Method/Bellesoma Method breast reduction Thank you for your question, The Horndeski Method/The Bellesoma Method is a current technique to lift and/or reduce breasts without using implants or the ugly vertical scars. The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the inframammary crease. The vertical incision has been completely eliminated. The areola incision heals almost invisibly due to the fact that there is hardly any tension on the closure. With this particular technique, ducts are preserved along with nerve supply maintaining nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Because the breast is reshaped internally and is secured to your chest muscles, upper pole fullness is possible without an implant. Attached is a patient who underwent The Horndeski Method/The Bellesoma Method. Please note that her tissue was used to create upper pole fullness and cleavage without any foreign materials (mesh, implants, etc). It is a proprietary technique that only surgeons that have been trained by me can perform. I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards, Dr. Gary Horndeski

Answer: Sensitivity This is something that is very hard to predict. There is a small risk of temporary numbness, however this often returns over weeks to months. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Answer: Sensitivity of nipple after breast reduction Breast Reduction and Lift surgery is one of the most gratifying surgery in our practice both from patients and clinician's perspective. Nipple and areola sensation is expected to get altered post this procedure. Their are many techniques of Breast reduction namely, SuperioMedial pedicle based flap, which has shown in long term that most of the sensations specially erogenous sensations are regained after few months (3 to 4 months). Kindly discuss about the techniques with your plastic surgeon further on this.

Answer: What will happen to the sensitivity of my nipples after a breast reduction? Thank you for the question.Breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform for patients with symptomatic breast hypertrophy. Of course, like with any operation, patients and surgeons must weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks/ complications associated with the procedure.A loss of nipple/areola sensation rate of 5 to 15% with breast reduction surgery is probably accurate.I hope this, and the attached link, helps.
