Why do some women have more sensation in their nipple/areola complex after breast reduction surgery?
Sometimes, the weight of the breast is such that the nerves are stretched by the hanging tissue. In some cases, once a reduction is performed, patients will note improved sensation compared to their preoperative sensation. Also, the generalized inflammation from healing can sometimes cause hypersensitiviy.
