Answer 1

How old are you? You are okay. The human body exhibits a dazzling array of variety. You are referring to the areola, and the nipple, by your description sounds like it is inverted. This means you have innies rather than outies (for the nipple portion). This causes you no harm, however for aethetic reasons, some adults choose to have them everted..or turned back outwards. The only possible problem physiologically that you could encounter is difficulty in breastfeeding if you are trying to do that. But there are shields that can be used to attempt to draw the nipple outward for easier latch-on for the baby.

Answer 2

For many women, having inverted nipples can be distressing. Lying flat against the breast or actually pulling in from the breast surface, they can be a source of self-consciousness and breastfeeding problems. Since the tissue is stretchable, if you can get hold of the end of the nipple, you can pull it out to a protruding position. The problem is that as soon as you let go, it goes back to the inverted position.

Inverted nipple means that the nipple does not protrude from the surface of the breast, but points inwards. Sometimes this is congenital, due to tethering: The nipple can occasionally be persuaded to evert (come out) by stimulation, but sometimes it is permanent and may cause problems with lactation and breast feeding. A nipple which originally pointed outwards and which becomes inverted may be being retracted by an underlying ductal problem such as duct ectasia or cancer, and needs to be investigated.

Inversion of the nipple is caused by a short milk duct system running from the chest wall to the nipple. Women with inverted nipples basically have a choice of two types of procedures and regardless of procedure chosen, inverted nipple repair can restore the nipple to a beautiful and natural, projecting appearance.

Surgical procedures to correct the inverted nipple can be divided into two types: those that leave the milk ducts intact and those that do not. In either case, the objective is to reshape the nipple and areola so that the nipple projects out from the breast, enhancing the appearance of the breast while preserving sensitivity of the nipple. The technique that leaves the milk ducts intact can also help preserve a woman´s ability to breastfeed.

Women who want to correct inverted nipples in order to breastfeed more easily should know that they have other options in addition to plastic surgery. First of all, contrary to popular belief, breastfeeding does not involve the nipple so much as the breast itself, and a hungry infant can achieve quite a vacuum, pulling a moderately recessed nipple out into his/her mouth. Many women interested in breastfeeding are concerned that their nipples are inverted, whereas in reality their nipples will serve quite adequately - when the time comes - without medical assistance.

The true inverted nipple is reportedly rare. It is characterized by a tendency to retract when the area around the nipple is squeezed. A flat or even slightly recessed nipple will not necessarily prevent successful breastfeeding

Answer 3

Yes it is and you should see your doctor right away. There is a new kind of breast cancer out and it makes the nipples submerge inwards and the breast start swelling. There is no cure as of yet. I would really check into it if I were you. Good Luck.

Answer 4

Sunken nipples could be a sign of serious problems. Have it checked out by a doctor.

Answer 5

They didn't just suck in so I would assume you just have inverted nipples. It becomes a problem if you ever want It nurse a baby, but it can be overcome.

Answer 6

I don't think so but i would call my doc just in case because I can not see the severity of this.
cheers
