Inverted Nipples
Posted: 09-24-03 00:51am

Hi - I am 22years old, a recent college grad, and a strong young woman. I am not at all self conscious about my body with clothes on, but when it comes to taking them off it is an entirely different story. I have had inverted nipples my entire life and this is a great source of in-security for me. It has come to the point where is has inhibited me from having intense romantic relationships because I have never felt comfortable being nude in front of anyone else. 2 past relationships blew up because of this, the first left because he felt that I did not trust him enough to be open with him. The second I had this discussion with while he was out of town via the internet and he decided that it was something that he could not handle.
I have gone to see a cosmetic surgeon that told me that if the operation was done, there may be a chance for the nipples to revert to the original position plus I would not be able to breast feed or may lose feeling in that area. At this point I have no idea what to do. The only people who know of this situation are my parents and my doctor. The parents have the usual advice - "one day you will find someone who will accept you for all that you are and all that you aren't - don't worry - it isn't unusual."
is there anyone out there who has inverted nipples and found love? Is there anyone who has a lover that has this problem? At this point I feel very lonely - it seems like other things in my life is working except for relationships. I just want to know if people do have active sexual lives - how do they go about telling their partner? Or have they had an operation to correct it?
Any contribution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your time! Smile

Hey guys,
thanks for your input - don't feel bad for asking, it's a question. Not wanting to sound too much like an elementary school teacher, but I strongly believe that no honest questions are dumb or wrong ... I'm glad that you did ask. That is exactly what it is - my nipples are still light brown where the areola are, with the exception that they do not stick out. They go in. I was wondering - when it comes down to it... How should I go about telling someone about this. I mean I tried it once with someone I thought I was close with - and he walked away - its been about a month since we talked. That really tore me up. He knew my personality completely, we talked about everything in life ... And after this - he just walked. It made me feel even more uncomfortable about my situation. I just don't know which way to go on the matter. One side tells me I should have more self worth like my parents tell me and another just says go ahead and have them fixed and don't even think about it again. Anyway ... All of your responses have made me feel a lot better. Thanks!

Your best bet is to not tell a guy at all. He wont figure it out. Because then they are going to think you are obsessed about it. Its like a little turn off. Imagine a guy you meet (no nipples involved) and first thing he says is..".Well im really self consience (spell?) and im not circumsized..It bothers me, but im trying to live with it and every girl I get close to I ruin it because I feel embarassed by it. And I dont like a girl to look at it either." what would you think!? Like what is this guy talking about!!! Its best off not mentioning it until you are very close and able to talk about things,thats kinda how they feel. Its better left off as not mentioned. If your with a guy and he looks at them..I garantee hes not going to say "whats wrong with them?" hes gonna say "wow those are beautiful!!!!" not after two dates should you say "i have weird nipples!" hes going to be like "what???" makes you sound weird. Try meeting a guy, let him know the real you...Then if gets to seeing your breats, let him..Be confident, and all will go well. Trust me! Good luck!!

I have an idea! Although you might not like it. Its very common for women with inverted nipples to get them pierced! This forces the nipple to stick out and in my opinion looks wonderful! I have mine pierced (but they are not inverted). Also it does not affect or inhibit future breast feeding.
Maybe a bit out there but think about it!

Hi Cheesycheeto
Posted: 09-25-03 14:28pm

I just want to say that you are beautiful no matter what. In fact your inverted nipples add a quality to you that not many have. You have breasts and you have an areola and thats whats important. I am sure if you find the right person who loves you then he will love your breasts too.
You just have not found the right person. The guy that left you because of your inverted nipples was narrow minded and insincere and uncaring.

If you feel that insecure about it, then by all means go out and take a chance with the operation. And after its all over, you will have a good laugh.

But I just want to let you know that you are god's creation and nothing created by god is ugly. You are beautiful and will always be beautiful. You need to find the person that accepts your beauty...

Good luck with everything!

Thanks For the Response ...

Hey darling ...
Thanks for the thought -- that had been on my mind as well. I mean the piercing that is, I have always thought it was cool ... I was just never sure if they could do it to me. I might have to check into that. Thanks!

Nice guy - thank you too ... The entire post that you wrote was very sweet and made me feel better. You have all done a great deal to boost my spirits. Thanks soooo very much for the input!

Take care and god bless!

I would like to add that someone is hacking into nikki caro's account and sending these messages. Under no circumstances would she ever say any of these things.

Georgie -
i'm sorry for any backlash that has fallen upon you ... That was never my intention. Other than apologize to you - all that I can do is to reiterate your words that people should mind their own business. My question never treaded on religious grounds in the least - I have my beliefs and others have theirs and all should be respected. Thanks again for your nonjudgemental insight and advice - they have truly helped with my problem.
