WHAT IS CONSIDERED “NORMAL”? 
ON THE SURFACE . . .

ON THE ISSUES OF SIZE AND SHAPE
     It is a blessing that we all come in different shapes and sizes.  Wouldn’t the world be a boring place if we all looked the same?  The same is true with breasts.

The nipple is the raised center portion of the breast.  On occasion breasts have normally occurring inverted nipples.  If your nipples have been inverted since early development, then that is normal for you.  Additionally, some nipples are “shy” and invert temporarily when they are stimulated.  This too, is normal.
     The nipple, along with the areola, the circular tissue surrounding the nipple, are usually darker in color than the surrounding breast tissue.  Montgomery’s glands are the little “goose pimple” like bumps on the areola.  Since the nipple is surrounded with tiny hair follicles, nipple hair is common.
     Breast milk leaves the breasts through the milk duct openings when you are breastfeeding (lactating).  Tiny amounts of skin softening oils are produced by the sebaceous glands.
