Nipple Sensitivity

Going into the breast augmentation one of my concerns was the potential loss of nipple sensitivity. Following the surgery I woke to find clear tape covering my nipples and areolas with a circular hole that the centermost part of my nipples stuck through. We were instructed that five days after surgery we were to grab the end of the covered sutures and pull them out, leaving the tape in place until it fell off on its own. It wasn't falling off at all. As of yesterday the tape was still intact and I had very limited feeling through it. Last night we were instructed to remove the tape, too. I must say that things feel different now. I'm getting a lot more feeling but it's still limited and spotty. Overall the left nipple and breast are more sensitive. The overall sensation is a bit uncomfortable, a bit painful. Like everything else I suppose I need to wait at least 6 months before I know what's what.
