a. Slightly smaller left breast compared with the right breast
b. Eversion of both nipples
c. Striae and superficial veins noted bilaterally
d. Small dimple located in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast

There should be no dimpling of the breast tissue, and this warrants further investigation. Eversion of both nipples creates difficulty with breastfeeding in the childbearing years, but it has no impact on menopause. Striae and superficial veins noted bilaterally are common following pregnancies and breastfeeding.
