What are my options for my puffy/inverted nipples? Age 22. (Photos)

March 18, 2018
Asked By:Liv8204 in Fort Worth, TX

Hello! I have always been quite self conscious about my nipples. I am 22 with an almost one year old, and I didn't have any success breastfeeding long term due to my anatomy. I definitely want (and need) to get something done for them. Is there anything that can be done? When cold, they do go hard temporarily (but still are not attractive). They are not sensitive at all, so am not worried about losing any sensation. I mostly clearly hate the nipple, but want smaller areola as well. Thank you!
