Only 2 weeks post op but hate the feeling of numbness around the bottom. They really do not feel like mine so really just wanted a survey on how long it has taken for the numbness to go???

Thanks
Wendy

I am now 10 months post-op and mine are still numb underneath.
It probably varies between each person, but I was told this is quite normal and can take a year or more to get full feeling back.

i thought my feeling in my right was never gonna return as at 6 months post still had no feeling, but now 11 months post ive got full feeling back in both my boobs and all over em. It can take up to a year to regain full feeling, but my ps also warned me that some peeps loose feeling and it never comes back, he told me that was one of the risks x

...and still have a lot of numbness along the bottom. The top numbness as pretty much gone and I am getting some feeling along the sides now but still alot of numbness at the bottom. My nipples sway from being very numb, to be very sensitive. Good post, I am interested to see how long it lasts for.

My numbness has never returned. Sorry! I am 2 years post ba and having my 2nd ba in 10 days - maybe it will return after this one - here's hoping but i doubt it.

...why not?? Has your surgeon said anything about it??

Why are you having another one?? I really thught that I had researched everything but now that I have had it done there is loads that comes up that I did not know... especially this numbness, I really really hate it!!

Good luck to you; hope everything works out ok. xx

Hi Girls

Hi

I am 12 weeks post op. Still numb from the nipple down.

Everybody seems to be different... I've heard some people say it can take up to a year but like everyone else I'm quite anxious so I'll be watching this post for other responses!

and still got numb nipples and underneath (top is OK) hate it feels really strange I can't let my other half have a play (sorry to much info) coz it freaks me out hope it goes!

...for your responses.. much appreciated.

getting a bit worried about how long it will take to go off...and..

I am worried as I do not like touching them so certainly dont want anyone else going near them..just hoping and praying that it does not last..

Hi I have all feeling back in my left but right is slower but has improved. Nipple up ok so hoping the bottom will return soon, nipple 50% there

I had overs in case this makes a difference, i guess it would actually

They'd have to cut through so much more to put unders in - severing nerves etc. Especially with the inframammory incision. I wonder if there is any difference to numbness with having the incision in the nipple or armpit.

...testing mine every morning to see if any difference but sadly not at this stage.

I know that it is only 14 days but still a bit worried about it.

Incision is under the breast and had unders, that bit seems ok, itchy so good news there but the rest of the underneath and nipple is still very numb.

Hoping for a miracle!!
