Patients undergoing various plastic surgical procedures on their breasts were studied before and after operations with respect to sensation from crude touch, light pressure, and pain. The more extensive the operation on the breast (the more skin and breast tissue removed) the greater the postoperative decrease in sensation. Reduction mammaplasty and subcutaneous mastectomy were associated with decreased sensation in a significant number of patients. An unexpected finding was that patients having augmentation mammaplasty by either the inframammary or areola route showed a significant decrease in sensation to the nipple and apeola. At two years, 15 percent of the patients still had impaired sensory perception, although crude touch and light pressure appreciation had returned. Many of these patients had normal erectility with normal, and even enhanced, sensuality.
对接受各种乳房整形手术的患者在术前和术后进行了关于粗略触觉、轻压觉和痛觉的感觉研究。乳房手术范围越广（切除的皮肤和乳腺组织越多），术后感觉下降越明显。大量患者在乳房缩小成形术和皮下乳房切除术后出现感觉减退。一个意外发现是，采用乳房下或乳晕入路进行隆乳术的患者，乳头和乳晕的感觉明显下降。两年时，15%的患者仍存在感觉障碍，尽管粗略触觉和轻压觉已恢复。这些患者中的许多人性功能正常，性欲正常甚至增强。
