Poll: Nipple sensation after breast lift

Ladies, I am seriously interested in getting a breast lift as the girls really need it, but one thing I am concerned about is losing sensation in the nipples. I don't really care too much about sensation in the rest of the breast, just the nipples. Hubby and I enjoy that! ;-)

So my question, for those of you who have had a breast lift or similar invasive breast surgery, how has it affected your nipple sensitivity?

I had reduction surgery 15 years ago. Sensitivity actually increased, but I was willing to risk complete numbness in order to decrease my backaches and other related problems.

I had a breast reduction in April - My right nipple is more sensitive than my left but I didn't have that much sensitivity to start with so all woulda been OK for me. They perk up - but not due to cold or anythign - Just more perky than they were before.....

Im glad you asked cause this is a major issue for me and and the hubby I have wanted a breast reduction since i was 18 to no avail I now have size -drum roll- G! yes thats right I said it the girls are a heavy-to-lift-stand-and-walk-around-G! No dont get me wrong Im a boob girl Ilike boobs i like big boobs not giant boobs but i like big boobs. But I as well am worried about the sensitivity issue after i lose the weight, my hubby and I enjoy them as well. I look forward to reading more replies in here!

I had gynaecomastia 4 weeks ago and the ps said i may lose sensation around the nipples. At the moment it is a little numb, but I can feel something. Like all plastic surgery you cannot guarantee anything, but is it really a major loss in context?

I also had a reduction and still have nipple sensitivity; however, I do have some numbness in the surrounding tissue of one of my breasts. That being said, I would gladly have given up sensitivity for the 6 pounds I got off my chest!
