No I am sorry to say the sensation is not like before BUT better than I expected.
Specifically, I cant feel the centre area of each breast, probably about a 7-8 cm circle (breasts are a about a C). But have normal sensation between the breasts and around them. as they soften it seems to get better. But I dont expect to get it back in the centre area much more. But ill keep up the massaging in the hope that magic happens.
As for the tummy, it gets better every day. I keep massaging and the numbness seems to be shrinking. Ive been told it will get back to normal in this area, but not sure.
So no it is a bit weird, but I guess like others we will get used to not feeling our breasts and make the most of the areas we can feel! Not that there is a choice I guess.
You CAN look forward to lovely warm natural feeling (from the outside) stomach breasts though.
Dont be scared but make the most if them while youve got them.
oh and i use body butter to massage into scars and skin as it stays mouristrised 24 hrs. I made some (wanted chemical free) whipping up 1/4 coconut oil and 3/4 shea butter. I also included hemp oil for healing in one batch.
