I assume you mean that you have areolas but no nipple that protrudes out. Sometimes called flat nipples. They are normal although it could be a problem breast feeding when the time comes. Btw if you have flat nipples at age 20 they will probably be that way your whole life.

oh, I am so at a loss here....
Somehow, I'm sure that they would not regenerate. I would imagine that if it were a surface wound, the skin would heal, but I doubt that it would regrow should you cut it off.
So, my answer is no, and my advice...keep away from sharp objects. Or get a good plastic surgeon in your cell on speed dial.

i once tryed pulling off a wort on my leg. i heard that it would never stop bleeding but still done it. i was at school at the time and after i had peeled it of half way i could even see white (i asumed) root like stuff behind it i thought **** it il leave it, so i pushed it back on and put a plaster over it. it reattached its self and then after a few years finaly got it cut off properly. yay my first stitches! i was only about 14 mind you.
thanks for listening

I am not an expert, but I cannot imagine that this is possible. If it were, women who have to have masectomies would be able to grow a new nipple instead of having to have reconstructive surgery.

Nope, not true. Not that our bodies do not contain the gene for regentation, they do but the codon for regeneration of limbs, organs and glands in our DNA structure is inactive for some reason

Your nipple won't grow back. You're human. The only thing you can cut off that will grow back is your finger/toenails and your hair.

The tissue the nipple is made of is, unfortunately, not regenerative. SO, play it SAFE and err on the side of CAUTION when engaged in S&M. :-)
Cheers!

This is definitely not true.
It's just like silly people thinking if they cut off a finger, it will grow back.
NOT TRUE.
