The depressed nipple is a condition where the nipple is positioned at the same plane as the areolar or positioned inside. The depressed nipple is not aesthetically pleasing, and functionally uncomfortable when breast feeding a baby. Because the nipple is depressed into the breast, it is hard to maintain the nipple area clean for the baby. Thus, many women also decide to undergo depressed nipple correction.
