3Breast Lift
Another possible cause of breast numbness is a breast lift, also known as a mastopexy. This is a surgical procedure to lift and change your breast shape. During this surgery, a surgeon gets rid of excess skin and restructures breast tissue to lift your breasts. A side effect of a breast lift is the loss of sensation or breast numbness. In most cases, this problem usually improves after a few weeks. But some people may have a permanent loss. Other potential risks may include scarring, an uneven size or shape of the breasts, changes in breast or nipple sensation, difficulty breastfeeding, a total or partial loss of the nipples, infection, bleeding, allergic reactions, or an adverse reaction to anesthesia.
