2. Factors affecting sensation in breasts after breast augmentation

2.1. How does the location of the incision affect the risk of nipple sensation loss? The site of the incision is relative to the surrounding nervous system. The nerve supplying the nipple originates from the lateral cutaneous branches of the fourth intercostal nerve.
But research in Cadaveric has shown that neural responses in the nipples appear to originate from both anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the third, fourth, or fifth intercostal nerves. These nerves then divide again into many lateral and medial branches.
The medial branches are responsible for controlling the left side of the sternum, while the lateral branch further divides into many smaller branches, which then pass through the inferior gland without the subcutaneous tissue. These small branches will then progress gradually until they reach the nipple skin. These are the nerves that can be affected if the areola incision is used to place the breast implants. There is also a huge difference between the areola incision technique and the breast incision technique.
There are 3 common incisions used in laparoscopic breast augmentation surgery: armpit line, breast line or areola line. In particular, breast augmentation surgery through the chest line or under the armpit is thought to have less impact on the nerves.
Besides, with the application of the current technique of placing bags under the muscle, it will limit the compression on the nerves. Helps the breast implant to stay firmly in the breast cavity, without squeezing the milk glands and keeping the full sensation in the nipple area.
2.2. Does breast implant size affect the risk of nipple sensation loss? Another potential risk factor for nipple loss during breast augmentation is the size of the implant relative to the original breast size. Women with large breasts often have a natural decrease in nipple sensitivity. This shows that the more breast tissue there is, the less nipple sensation is lost.
The risk of losing nipple sensation after breast augmentation surgery can happen to any woman. The risk is inevitable as the sensory nerves pass through the chest area to reach the nipple. However, this problem is rare, but it can happen more if you do not follow your doctor's instructions after surgery.

After breast augmentation surgery, you should perform breast massage care according to the doctor's instructions. Only about 2 months after breast augmentation, all activities as well as your husband and wife can proceed normally.
