Nipple inversion occurs in varying degrees, defined on how easily may be protracted and the degree of existent fibrosis in the breast.

The main types of nipple inversion are:

Grade I refers to nipples with minimal retraction that can be easily pulled out by using finger pressure or a suction device to project the nipple normally.

Grade II has moderate degree of tissue fibrosis. This is the most common type of nipple inversion, which can be corrected through a tiny incision at the base of the nipple to release fibrous tissue that holds the nipple in its inverted position.

Grade III describes as a severely inverted and retracted nipple that cannot project at all due to remarkable fibrosis of soft tissue underneath and around the nipple. Surgery is a definite solution to fix this problem.
