I also had the sensitivity, it was the worst part of it all I think. I am sure it will al return to normal once the nerves heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it returns to normal ASAP haha the numbness gets a bit annoying haha and the sensitivity it's frustrating but then I look down and realize I have boobs and it's all worth it haha.!

Does everyone seem to get sensitive nipples or is it that some do and some don't? It's not something I am looking forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz68 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 i think after your boobs have settled down after the op the sensitivity returns to normal in most cases! Maybe you will be lucky Mrs D and loose some sensation you never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
