Resensation is a procedure designed to restore sensation to the breast after mastectomy and reconstruction. For many women, losing breast sensation can be a significant concern, affecting not just physical comfort but also emotional well-being.

What is Breast Resensation?

This technique involves microsurgical nerve repair, where nerves from the chest are carefully connected to the nerves in the reconstructed breast. The result is a gradual return of feeling, which can make a profound difference in how you experience your body after breast surgery. Resensation can be performed both for autologous and implant-based reconstruction.
