Hi,
First of all,this is a Breast Cancer Community Forum where non professional members and other volunteers respond to posts.Although some of our members are very knowledgeable concerning breast issues,if you wish to have a doctor's response,you could post in the "Expert Forum"by clicking on "Forum" at the top of this page.

Most cases of inverted nipples are congenital - some people are just born that way and this condition does NOT indicate in any way that you have or could have breast cancer in the future.
Your doctor could give you good information and suggestions regarding your nipples inversion.  
The link below will also provide a lot of info concerning this condition which you might find it useful.

Agree with zouzi. The only real challenge inverted nipples cause is that it may be difficult, if not almost impossible, to breastfeed. That was the case with me. Katrin
