Most women find they have a slight variation in their breast size. In the vast majority of cases this is of no concern and has no impact on ones appearance and does not effect choosing or fitting a bra. However, a for many women the difference can be significant enough to cause problems with bra fitting. The simple answer in many cases is to use a Bra Insert with the smaller breast. In cases where breast asymmetry is greater than one or two cup sizes a procedure as detailed above may be appropriate. Watch a shot video from the Embarrassing Bodies Ch4 TV series::

 

We are often asked if it is normal when nipples appear to point slightly inwards into the breast or look as though they have slits or holes in the centre. It is though to affect around 1 in 10 women and the reason this occurs is not entirely clear but may be based on the speed of breast development in some cases. The important thing to remember here is that whilst one may not consider this condition to be sexy or 'normal' it is purely cosmetic and can be fixed with a little determination. Normally the inversion or 'undersize' in the case of small nipples can be easily addressed using the Avent / Philips Niplette.

There is an important footnote here... I must stress that it is NOT normal for one or both nipples to become inverted 'out of the blue' where once the nipples were normally semi erect or protruding or had been normal up until a certain point in time. One nipple becoming inverted over a short space of time say a month for example could indicate a medical condition requiring immediate investigation by your GP. This refers to a definite visible change in how the nipple appears not just that the nipple(s) is / are resting and flattened. Watch a shot video from the Embarrassing Bodies Ch4 TV series::
