I had a reduction 4 years ago. The nipples are fine. They work as intended. I'm happy. The sides of my breasts are numb, but still itchy at times. I know the nerves are still growing back. As for scars I have to say I'm happy, my aren't raised or very differently colored, but yeah, I do call myself "Frankentitty" at times.
The idea of more plastic surgery after the band weight loss is comforting, cuz the belly needs to go, but I'm not looking forward the recovery.
