Brief Answer:
Nipples are patulous and skin little sore
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the pictures. As per the pictures shared by you, the nipples are normal and not inverted. However, nipple appears to be patulous and surrounding area appears to be little sore. Your nipples are typical of a multiparous women who have breast fed their babies. Often such complaints by breast fed mothers are encountered in our practice.
Now, here are few tips to make your breast and nipples firmer and to avoid sensitivity.
1. The first most important thing is to wear right type of bras which are exactly fitting. Use correct size bras after taking accurate measurements and after trying it out. Preferably use cotton bras. Wearing accurate fitting bra shall give that firm consistency to breast and prevents sagging. Sagging of breast makes nipple and surrounding area sensitive because of their continuous rubbing against dress. Make sure that you wear the bra continuously and can be removed while retiring to bed.
2. Massage both the breasts regularly with Vitamin E oil mixed with either coconut oil or Cocoa butter. The massage needs to be done with the flat of the fingers both clockwise and anticlockwise rotatory movements.
3. Take one capsule of omega 3 fatty acid everyday. This shall give glow to the skin and try to reduce sensitivity.
4. Avoid too much of rubbing of breasts and the skin around. This shall increase the soreness of the breast.
5. After bath apply aloe vera mosturizer around breast skin with very mild rubbing action.
All these steps provided above shall increase the firmness of the breast and avoid sensitivity of the skin. Once the breast becomes firm the nipples too shall stand out and become firmer.
However, in order to see the degree of the soreness, I would request you to resend the photographs. Since the flash from the camera is on and also the angle from where breasts have been focused has made the photo very hazy and unclear. I would suggest you to take pictures from both front and side angles under a bright room source but with camera flash off. Please take both the breasts in a single frame for comparison.
Do get back to me with photographs and if any additional information if required. I would be glad to assist you.
Best regards,
Dr. T. Shobha Deepak

I meant to say: deny laws of gravity. Can I wear a support sports XXXXXXX all day long.Support sports braziere. CORRECTION
Brief Answer:
Good Cotton bras are preferable
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Any braziere which shall give good support and a conical shape to the breasts would be fine. I know that sports brazieres provide good support but am not sure whether sports brazieres would provide good shape to the breasts. The sports bra basically makes the breasts flat and compressed. I personally would not prefer to wear sports bra if I am not playing or jumping.
There are cotton material bras available. These provide good shape and support to the breasts. I hope you know how to measure breast size. Just find out online or in the market for the same. Some try outs would be necessary. Once you narrow down to that perfect fitting ones and the size you may continue to use the same brand. And wearing them all the day till retiring to bed would be beneficial. THis is also one of the reason why perfect fitting bras would be required, so that you can be at ease through out the day.
Do get back to me for any additional information if required.
