Nipple pointing downward slightly when not erect?

Nipples consists of breast ductal volume in a roughly cylindrical shape surrounded, enveloped, and contained within a surface area of skin cover.  Because of this anatomy, your intuition is correct, that the direction a nipple is "pointing" or the direction toward which your unclothed nipples naturally incline, can indeed be controlled, changed, and adjusted.  Straightforward techniques performed in the office under local anesthesia are the norm.  Although final determination can only follow consultation with examination of your exact situation and understanding your desired outcome, the surgeon who states it's impossible to fix is merely stating that he or she does not know how to fix it.  The former is much more comfortable for some professionals to offer as advice  than the latter is to acknowledge.

Every surgeon is different and has different approaches to challenges.   I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. Without an exam, it is impossible to determine whether a procedure could fix the problem. Perhaps the surgeon was not aware of the procedure or did not think it would help. If the other surgeon is confident they can help your problem and you trust them and their credentials, then perhaps they can help you.Best of luck!
