Sly, according to Wikipedia (and actual sources cited in the article):

Quote:
Feeling in the nipple and breast can change after implant surgery. Changes include intense sensitivity, chronic breast pain, and no feeling in the nipple or breast for months or years after surgery.

In their booklets for patients, Allergan and Mentor report that within the first three years, between 2-8% of augmentation patients report moderate to severe chronic breast pain, an additional 1-2% report moderate to severe breast sensitivity changes, and 3-10% report moderate to severe nipple complications such as loss of sensation.[44][62][63] These are similar for silicone gel or saline breast implants, but the longer-term data on saline implants indicates that chronic breast pain is reported by 17% of women within five years.

This altered sensitivity can be temporary or permanent and may affect sexual response or the ability to nurse a baby.
So there.
