The lightest is that the nipple is partially indented and can be easily squeezed out, and the size of the nipple is the same as that of a normal person; the mild to moderate case is that the nipple is completely indented, but can be squeezed out by hand, and the nipple is smaller than a normal nipple and has no neck; the third is a severe case, in which the nipple is completely sunken into the nipple and cannot be squeezed even with force. Nipple indentations can occur on both breasts or just on one side.
