Loss of Nipple Sensitivity a Rare Side Effect of Breast Lift Surgery
By admin | January 11, 2012
One of the main reasons why some people steer clear from plastic surgery is due to their fear of experiencing negative side effects and complications. This is especially true when it comes to breast surgeries. Please understand, however, that even though every surgical procedure has its own set of potential risks, the likelihood of a problem developing is low when a procedure is performed in the hands of a qualified medical professional.
Dr. Wilcox frequently meets with women who are interested in achieving a more youthful appearance with the help of breast lift surgery. During the consultation, he is often approached with a question revolved around the issue of nipple sensitivity: “Will I lose it after surgery?” According to Plano / Dallas breast lift specialist Dr. Wilcox, there is a chance of sensation decreasing, but it depends on the technique used. (All breast lift techniques entail incisions in the nipple/areola area.)
Additional information about this potential problem is explained on the official website of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). It is explained that patients may notice less sensation in the nipple and areola areas, but it is usually temporary. “Permanent loss of sensation in the nipples or areas of breast skin may occur rarely. It may, however, take weeks, months or even more than a year before sensation returns to normal,” the ASAPS reports.

During the consultation, patients may ask all of their questions and learn about this procedure in detail. With nearly two decades of experience in plastic surgery, Dr. Wilcox has the knowledge and skills necessary to properly perform breast lifts.
