35 Years Old, DDD to C - Ontario CAN

Coming up on a year in just one month. The most unexpected thing has happened.
In the last couple of weeks my breasts have been tender. At times itchy. They never went completely back to normal after surgery anyway but the doctor said that was normal and it was a major surgery affecting a lot of tissue that would continue to heal. The fact that nipple sensitivity hadn't returned though, meant it wouldn't.
But tonight the itchiness was more than normal and I realized that I have some sensitivity back in my right nipple now. I'd say about 75%. The left side still feels numb but also tender so I'm thinking this is a good sign of more to come. I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I had traded the sensitivity for comfort and confidence.
But as it turns out...there's hope so anyone out there who may have lost nipple sensitivity please know that it can return even a year later :)

I had my follow up a couple of weeks ago and according to my doctor, I healed really well. Better than most at this point he said. I still have internal weirdness but he said that was normal, and keep massaging. I still hate doing that.
My scars only recently spread wider but I couldn't care less because my boobs are awesome!!
I read so many reviews saying ladies wish they were smaller but I am relieved he kept me at a D. He took out 1.5 pounds and 1.3 pounds so I def feel lighter and my breasts are never in the way.
I bought some more VS bras after my appointment and decided that I wasn't that disappointed that my bras are still pricey because at least now they can be pretty. True I can pick up a cheap bra that will do the trick in a pinch. But I guess I like quality.
The doc said nipple sensitivity will not likely return. I feel guilty that I maybe should have massaged more...
All said and done I say WORTH IT.
To the ladies fretting over their results please just wait. Wait until you see with new eyes and new clothes!
I will say that being a D34 I still have a hard time getting my size in most stores because 34 is small for a D cup apparently. I had this issue as a teenager too. But who the hell cares!! I know that my boobs look great no matter the tags on my bras.

Next week I go for my 6 month check up. Quick update on me:
Nipple sensitivity is still almost nil.
Breasts are still somewhat sensitive but not bad.
I'm still a DD 34. Which is fine because the size suits my frame and they are so pretty. Perky perky perky! So happy I did this.

Funny story about having to sleep on your back during recovery.
I slept in a recliner the entire 6 weeks after surgery. I became convinced my house was haunted during that time. Kept waking up hearing footsteps on the stairs. Dreamt of an old lady a lot. I'd experience sleep paralysis regularly. Finally I googled this and these are all symptoms that can come from medication and back sleeping!! Crazy huh. Never happened once I moved back to the bedroom. Thought I'd share in case anyone else thought they were going crazy or experiencing "malevolent" spirits while sleeping in a recliner ;)
