What are my options for sagging nipples after breastfeeding?

cantthinkof1Feb 23, 2016
I've nursed four children and each one of them would pull against the breast while latched on. It caused them to stretch significantly. With my first three, the nipples returned mostly back to normal, but after the last one they remained stretched out. I'm very young so I was wondering if it is possible that with time they will tighten up and, if not, how are stretched nipples fixed surgically?

Thank you for asking about your nipples and breasts.Yes, the divided nipple can be corrected with a minor operation.Your breast asymmetry can be corrected either with a reduction of the larger breast or an implant in the smaller breast.Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Hope you find...
