Hello,
Its great to find this site, as I too have inverted nipples from birth. I have also used the nipplette for the last 6 yrs on and off. Having the same problems as many of you on here with soreness, weeping and even bleeding if the suction is to hard. I have also tried using the
breast shield over the nipplette to stop it from falling off, if you sleep on your back at night then this would be great for you...I like to sleep on my front and I don't feel comfortable wearing them during the day, as I feel they make my
breast shape look abnormal.. My nipples were great at first using the nipplette but as I used them for a long period of time, they seem to retract most of the time again.
My nipples have never popped out until using the nipplette and I do agree that you really do need to persevere with using this method & it can work for some. But for me I feel after 6 yrs the only option is to have surgery.
I have had one consolation with a surgeon, who says he can do the procedure without causing damage, that would stop me from
breast feeding in the future. I have two quotations one for £2098.00, this is on offer at the moment with £250 off & another for £1753.00. The dearest quote is for the hospital that is used for extreme makeovers, very posh like a 5 star hotel.. And the surgeon is very confident it will work, if it doesn't he said the nipple will retracted within months after surgery and they will perform the procedure again for free. After this he said if it does retract then it is just natures way. However, he has never had a case were the nipple has retracted after the surgery.
This week I am going to find out which procedure the cheapest quotation uses, as researching into the surgery there are a few different ways. I will then have to make a decision as to which hospital I will have my nipple correction at. I know this is very expensive but if it works then it will be worth every penny.
I will keep you up dated on my progress & if anyone knows of any cheaper quotes please let me know, thanks! [/quote]
