Described as the "Angelina Jolie Effect", rates of prophylactic mastectomy with immediate implant-based reconstruction are increasing dramatically as more women with genetic predisposition towards breast cancer are seeking surgical prevention. Advances in surgical techniques allow for the creation of an aesthetically pleasing postoperative breast mound; however, a common complaint is the lack of sensation to the skin and nipple of the reconstructed breast due to injury and stretch of the sensory nerves. Numbness of the breast, nipple, and areola is an unnatural feeling for the patient, as well as a potential risk for injury or burns as the woman is unable to feel pain.
