Inverted Nipple Correction
An inverted nipple is a nipple that doesn't project outwards
from the areola. An nipple that is inverted can look flat,
or there can be a slight depression or a hole at the normal
nipple location.
Inverted nipples can affect both men and women. Some people
are born with inverted nipples while others may develop it
after breast cancer or reconstruction surgery. There are
different degrees or grades of nipple inversion, some
nipples are severely inverted and others only slightly
inverted.
Correction of inverted nipples depends upon the degree of
the problem. Typical inverted nipple surgery can be done
under local anesthesia as an outpatient. The surgeon makes
an incision at the base of the nipple and releases tissue
and shortened milk ducts. The surgery to correct inverted
nipples is designed to release the nipple so that it has
normal projection and to improve the overall cosmetic
appearance of the areola/nipple complex.
Your surgeon will give you specific recovery instructions
but usually you
will be asked to rest for the first week. You will probably
be instructed not
to participate in strenuous activities for a few weeks. Most
cases of nipple inversion correction surgery are not
extremely painful – often only Tylenol is needed for pain.
You will likely leave with a small dressing placed over each
nipple.
It is thought inverted nipple correction surgery may
interfere with your ability to breast feed, so make sure you
talk about the risks with your plastic surgeon. Some
surgeons may perform a technique that leaves the milk ducts
intact.
