One of the biggest concerns that patients have before and after breast augmentation plastic surgery is sensitivity, in this post we will address this issue to try to clarify the doubts.
This is one of the most widespread myths about augmentation mammoplasty, the loss of sensitivity in the area, it is important to make it clear that during the first weeks after surgery some patients notice lack of sensitivity, however it is normal and recovers after a few more days without any problem.
It is necessary to emphasize that during the surgical intervention there are some alterations in the nerve terminals of the tissue, therefore, some sensitive branches are affected. But don’t worry, after a while they automatically recover and regenerate normally. During this process you can also feel cramps or pricks, but we insist it is not to worry it is part of the expected symptoms, your body is recovering from an operation.
Similarly, the loss of sensitivity involves different areas surrounding the access route for the implant. If the selected route is the areola there is a lower risk of loss of sensitivity than when the operation is performed on the areola-nipple. On the other hand, when the incision is made through the axilla, the decrease in sensitivity occurs in the arm, but this is temporary.
It is very important to speak with the surgeon who will perform the surgical intervention, and make everything clear so that the patient can have a better idea of what will happen after the breast augmentation operation.
Loss of sensation is rare, however, if it can occur, since each body is unique, this is one of the reasons why each surgery is planned individually.
