FAQS
Inverted nipples can occur naturally or may be the result of factors such as tight or shortened milk ducts, underdeveloped nipple tissue, scarring from previous trauma or surgeries, or certain medical conditions. The exact cause of inverted nipples can vary from person to person.
Inverted nipple correction is a relatively common procedure. Many individuals seek this surgery to address cosmetic concerns or difficulties with breastfeeding or self-confidence related to inverted nipples.
In some cases, inverted nipple correction can improve the ability to breastfeed by releasing constricted tissues and allowing the nipple to protrude outward. However, the impact on breastfeeding can vary depending on individual anatomy and other factors. It’s important to discuss your specific situation with a healthcare professional.
Inverted nipple correction surgery generally has a low risk of affecting nipple sensation. However, there is a small possibility of temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensation, including increased or decreased sensitivity. Discuss any concerns about nipple sensation with your surgeon during the consultation.
While inverted nipple correction surgery aims to provide long-lasting results, there is a small risk of recurrence, especially in cases where the inversion is caused by tight or shortened milk ducts. Recurrence rates vary depending on individual factors, and revision surgery may be necessary in rare cases.
Inverted nipple correction surgery involves making small incisions, typically around the base of the nipple or along the edge of the areola. With proper surgical technique and care, scars can be well-concealed and fade over time. Your surgeon will make efforts to minimize visible scarring and provide guidance on scar management.
