Common Causes

It’s normal for nipples and areolas to change in size during puberty, your menstrual cycle, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Nipple colour, size and texture might change.

Aging can cause wrinkling and changes in the texture of nipples and areolas.

If you’ve noticed any new changes in your nipple, you should make an appointment with a healthcare provider immediately as rarely it could be a sign of breast cancer.

What can I do about misshapen nipples and areolas?

Differences in your nipples can cause concerns about appearance and body image. Societal beauty standards may contribute to feeling self-conscious or dissatisfied. Intimate relationships can also be affected, especially if the concerns lead to insecurity.

If this is the case with you, you may wish to speak to a consultant cosmetic surgeon regarding options for nipple treatments.
