has anyone either had their nipples corrected by cosmetic surgery?or by having them pierced instead?i read that piercing will correct them,its £800 to get them done at eylzea,i know it must be cheaper to pierce them but how painful would that be?? lasvegasbaby xx

Hi

I had an inverted nip that really bothered me so I pierced it and it worked. I checked out regular piercing techniques but they all involve a canular - a hollow needle that removes a thin tube of flesh - as I have nicely sensitive nips I didn't want to risk damaging a nerve so sterilised an embroidery needle - longish and reasonably thick and did it myself! Nope, it didn't really hurt that much and I didn't numb it, but saying that I do have a fairly high pain threshold! More importantly it worked! That was 15 years ago now, and I can take the ring out for ages without it healing up and the nipple looks and behaves like a regular one!

If you want to checkout how it looks without the ring in it, I'm on picturetrail username lubylocket and password anewme it's the right one, I'm on there as Ive just had a ba, the next lot of photos will be up on Saturday and the ring is back now so you'll be able to compare them.
