    Thank you. Well, I guess this is good news for me. I had a nipple-sparing BMX with immediate pre-pec implants. I am very happy with the way my breasts look. My nipples do not respond to cold or touch (although I hear that some women's do). They do look just like they did pre surgery though, just moved a bit towards the outside of my breasts.
