Then, the friction from wearing a bra can also affect the nipple's shape, including enlarging, darkening, lengthening, or sagging.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most common cause of nipple elongation and deformation is the way the baby feeds. When the baby can't get enough milk, they may pull on the nipple forcefully.
