Inverted nipple is a condition in which the nipple turns inward instead of protruding normally outward. It can be congenital or develop later in life due to changes in breast tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is typically caused by short milk ducts or fibrous tissue that “pulls” the nipple inward. Although it is not a medically dangerous condition, it can affect a woman’s aesthetic image and self-confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inverted nipple correction is performed through a minor surgical procedure and offers an immediate improvement in the appearance of the nipple with a natural result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the initial visit, the form and degree of inversion are evaluated, along with a comprehensive breast examination. A medical history is taken, and the patient’s expectations are discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the discussion, all available options will be presented, along with the most appropriate recommendation, as well as comprehensive information regarding potential risks and complications that may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inverted nipple correction is typically performed under local anesthesia. A very small incision of about 2 millimeters is made at the base of the nipple. The milk ducts or fibrous bands causing the inversion are then released, allowing the nipple to project normally outward. The improvement is immediate, and the aesthetic result is natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and does not require hospitalization. The patient returns home on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The procedure is very safe, and complications are rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Potential risks include infection, bleeding, temporary loss of sensation, or, in some cases, potential recurrence of the inversion or difficulty with breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
