Hi @DebsSA, I had my left nipple removed on 4th Dec. Also due to DCIS. I had a double mastectomy in April 2020, but it was skin/nipple sparing with expanders put in.

I didn’t even realise that it had, I just became aware one day that I was moving around like I used to and felt no discomfort. Give it a couple weeks more, and of you’re still really uncomfortable call your breast care nurse or surgeon 🍀♥️
