Sensation after breast lift

So, I am about 5 weeks post BL/BA. My question is, when can I expect sensation to return? I still have no sensation in my breasts let alone in my nipples. The only thing I feel in my breast is that weird sloshy feeling when the implants move around. My implants look great. Soft and natural. They have already settled and look like the girls look pre childbirth/nursing. But I'm hoping not to be one of those people who lose all sensation. When did your sensation return?

Thanks.

Good question... I have no sensation at all and mine have not settled and look like squares

I have sensation but I didn't get an implant. I'm 5 weeks out yesterday. However, with my lower body lift it took almost a year to get feeling back in some of the areas.

A year after LBL--OY! I just pray it comes back. I'm 50/50--have hypersensitivity in one nipple and nothing in the other. Since I just pulled out a 3" stitch from that side, guessing the numbness is a bonus!! Same goes for the lower body numbness given the fact I am having 3" needles stuck in my backside to drain fluid. Numbness isn't all bad! LOL!

I just had this conversation with another WLS client today. I had my BL/BA in May, she had hers a couple of years ago. Neither of us have gained our sensation back. Hers are so aggrivated by touch (underneith) that she cannot wear a bra comfortably. I wear a sports bra at home and sleeping. Hopefully, our (all three of us) will get our sensation back. :^)

Nipple sensation came back after about 4 weeks. The LBL scar is still numb. No implants. Have to love Dr Sauceda...

I had just a regular reduction and it literally took years for the sensation to come back. Its still very different than preop, but at least there's something now.

Reduction/lift here not quite 1 year ago. Sensation is mostly back, but on some days it's just that weird pressure thing, not really sensation.

I had breast lift with reduction on dec 9th. So far I think I have good sensation. I'll know more tomorrow when the stitches come out.

So far no numbness anywhere in my LBL, thigh, arm area. Face is pretty good too. I'm feeling very lucky.
