What is the reason for the areola to be sunken?

The condition of inverted areola is closely related to women's underwear. If the underwear is too tight, it will cause the breasts to be squeezed, which will lead to inverted areola in the long run. Women should not wear bras too early, which will affect the development of the breasts. Especially in adolescence, it is a critical period to correct inverted nipples. At this time, pulling the nipples and massaging the breasts more can help enlarge the breasts and highlight the areola.

1. Common causes of inverted nipples include wearing clothes that are too tight, using bras improperly, wearing bras that are too small or too tight, or even using bras too early. Especially for women during the period of breast development, wearing underwear that is too tight can easily lead to inverted nipples, so you should pay more attention when choosing a bra.

2. Adolescence is an important period for breast development and also an important period for correcting inverted nipples. Regularly pulling the nipples can make the breasts protrude, increase the supporting force of the surrounding skin, and play a shaping role. If self-traction is not effective, you should go to the hospital to consult a doctor in time to learn how to use a nipple retractor for treatment.

3. Inverted nipple itself is a disease of breast deformity, and some are even external symptoms of malignant tumors in the breast. Before puberty, women's breasts have not developed, so their nipples are very small. After puberty, as hormone levels in the body change and menstruation comes, breasts begin to develop and nipples gradually grow larger and more protruding. If your nipples are still very small, you should pay more attention.

Note: Although the nipples of unmarried women and non-pregnant women are smaller, they all protrude above the areola plane. If they are partially or completely below the areola plane, or even concave inward or even sunken under the skin, this is called inverted nipple. Inverted nipple is actually a common disease among women, so don't panic if you find yourself suffering from this disease.
