Inverted Nipples

The normal nipple of the human female breast protrudes naturally. When cold or stimulated, it becomes even more erect. But for some women with flat or inverted nipples, this simply does not occur. In fact, the nipple may even sink in as if pushed inside the breast by a finger.

It is not uncommon for women to have flat or inverted nipples; as many as 20% of all women have this condition. And while there is no known health risk associated with flat or inverted nipples, many women feel a bit self conscious about the way an inverted nipple looks.

Plastic surgery may be the best solution to bring about a more aesthetically pleasing look for the nipples and the breasts. Nipples that are inverted connect underneath the breast tissue through connective tissue. The nipples can sometimes be coaxed into a more protruding position by gently freeing up or breaking down these bands of connective tissue that hold the nipple in the inverted position. Ice, stimulation or rolling the nipple works for some women. Other manual stimulation techniques may work for others.
