Sensation Alterations Following Superior and Superomedial Wise Pattern Breast Reductions

Following breast reduction with the superior or superomedial pedicle, patients may experience a transient reduction in NAC sensation which returns to baseline by 6-12 months postoperatively. Patients with large breasts may have reduced sensation in the OI region at baseline, and the inferior region will continue to have worse sensation compared to the other regions postoperatively and will even experience further reduction in sensation compared to baseline. Despite these sensation alterations, patients experienced an overall improvement in well-being and satisfaction.
