You can find all the needed information regarding this procedure in the breast augmentation brochure. In some cases, the feeling and sensitivity is temporarily decreased after a nipple correction. Although this may be permanent, generally it returns after a few months. Permanent loss of feeling in the nipple, resulting in loss of the whole nipple or part of the nipple, is caused by problems with circulation. Smoking is an immediate cause.
Smokers can lower their risk by stopping three weeks before surgery and three weeks after.
Permanent loss of feeling and circulation problems is uncommon. In high-risk patients the surgery technique may be modified to limit these risks. In general, complications are rare and you will have many years of pleasure with your breast correction. The breasts are heavily bandaged immediately following a breast lift or breast reduction surgery. Under each bandaged breast is a drainage tube for discharge of blood and fluid.
