Inverted Nipple Correction

Inverted nipple is an irregularity in which a woman&aos;s nipples point more inwards than outwards. It may be noticeable from childhood or develop over time and results from breast tissue that pinches the base of the nipple, limiting stretch and movement. The problem does not usually pose a medical concern, but can create embarrassment for a woman that doesn't feel her body looks quite right. Inverted nipples are not typically considered a health hazard, but they can be cosmetically embarrassing, reducing a woman's quality of life in some situations.

It is important for the entire breast to be examined carefully for nipple inversion that occurs over a short period of time as it can sometimes be a sign of an underlying cancer.
