i have inverted nipples.  will i be able to breastfeed?  does this increase my chances of getting breast cancer?  is there an operation to have it corrected?
                
Yes, most likely you will be able to breastfeed, and there are special "cups" that can be worn on the breasts to help "bring your nipples out" so to speak while you are trying to breastfeed.   No increased risk of breast cancer that I know of.  Breast surgery I would never recommend if you ever do plan on breastfeeding anyway.
