What is the Real Deal with Fixing Inverted Nipples/ Sensitivity Loss?

October 2, 2011
Asked By:nightshayde

Hi I'm 45 with inverted nipples my whole life. How it looks doesn't really bother me, the problem is they are very sensitive, but never can get erect during intimacy. This is becoming very frustrating for me and partner. Considering having them fixed too (just had anchor lift no implants) but understand its very risky to lose sensation. What would you advise a patient who wants inverted nipples fixed to -improve- sensitivity (or at least access)?? My dr will do it, but says weigh it carefully.
