Oh my gosh, I feel so sad for her and so blessed that I still have my

nipples. i will write to her and give her my support. If I was in her

shoes I think I would opt for explant, more surgery would be too

scarey for me. I am so glad my surgery days are over

This is a sad thing. I lost most of the sensation in my left nipple and

about 20% in my right nipple, and it has changed my satisfaction and sexual

response in a negative way. I have been very sad about that. I have kept

hope that somehow the nerves will regenerate, or that the sensation will

return more, but I don't know. , you are lucky if you still have full

sensation in both nipples!
