Nipple sensitivity is important both for sexual activity and breastfeeding. Your breasts eject milk based on the amount of pressure applied by your baby’s mouth. Diminished sensitivity can result in insufficient milk supply to your child, making incision placement a necessary consideration for mothers who are thinking about breast augmentation.
Incision Placement and Nipple Sensitivity
Modern techniques in breast augmentation are intended to protect your milk ducts and the nerves in your breast. To help reduce risks, your breast augmentation incision can be placed in an area that will not affect nipple sensitivity. Periareolar incision, placed around the nipple, run the greatest risk for diminishing sensitivity, but provide our surgeons with greater control over implant placement. You should discuss your plans to become pregnant with one of our surgeons prior to selecting an incision option.
Our board-certified plastic-surgeons take every care necessary to ensure your nipple sensitivity is not impacted, but cannot guarantee against potential complications. For women who are concerned with decreased sensitivity, an Inframammary or trans-axillary incision may be a better option.
If you live in or around Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Reston, and Richmond, Virginia, Annapolis, Baltimore, Bethesda, and Columbia, Maryland, or Washington DC and are interested in learning more about breast augmentation incision options, please contact the experienced cosmetic surgeons at The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery to schedule a consultation today.

Recovery from breast augmentation will rely on implant placement and your body’s natural ability to heal. You can speed recovery by carefully following all of your surgeon’s post-surgical instructions, and giving yourself sufficient time to rest.
Placement and Recovery
Subglandular implants require a less invasive surgery and tend to heal more rapidly. For implants placed above the chest muscle, mild to moderate discomfort can be expected for one to two weeks. Swelling, bruising, and numbness may also last for up to two weeks. Work can generally be resumed within one week but exercise, besides walking, should be limited for up to one month.
Submuscular implants require a more detailed surgery. Implants placed below the chest muscle may cause moderate discomfort for up to two weeks. Swelling, bruising, and numbness may last for up to two months. Work can generally be resumed within one to four weeks depending on your job requirements. You can begin easing back into exercise within days of your surgery, but strenuous and high-impact exercises may have to wait up to 4 weeks, and final results should be apparent within four months.
Our doctors are committed to your comfort. Pain medications can be prescribed to reduce discomfort and compression garments will be supplied to reduce swelling. Taking walks can also help reduce discomfort and speed the recovery process.
If you live in or around Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Reston, and Richmond, Virginia, Annapolis, Baltimore, Bethesda, and Columbia, Maryland, or Washington DC and are interested in learning more about recovering from breast augmentation, please contact the experienced cosmetic surgeons at The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery to schedule a consultation today.
