I did a reduction first because of a few factors, mainly I still live with my parents and I was only 18 when I got the reduction, also I was on state insurance and they only covered having a certain amount of tissue removed. I knew I wanted top surgery later and did my own research on it. You can still get top surgery after a reduction, but there could be some limitations on how they do it incision wise, and you may experience dog earing.
i feel like my right nipple (i'm right handed - causation?) has the same sensation although i can feel the scar tissue underneath the skin of it now that wasn't there before, but my left has dulled significantly. interesting. it makes me look a little silly if i look at them too long, but also, cis guys have "weird" nipples too, and at the end of the day i'm over here flat and loving it
