Inverted Nipple Surgery

About the process

While many women visit a plastic surgeon for enlarging or reducing the size of the breasts, but most of them also visit due to inverted nipples. The condition is painless, but it can make the breasts look distorted, and if only one breast is involved, it can cause the breasts to look asymmetrical.

Patients with inverted nipples often feel embarrassed about the appearance of their breasts, particularly during sexual encounters.

Causes

Inverted nipples are due to milk ducts that are too short to allow for the nipple to protrude out, thus tethering the nipple. This leads to the nipple being ‘pulled in’ instead of protruding. While most inverted nipples are the result of short milk ducts, they can also develop after pregnancy, when the post-pregnancy loss of breast tissue results in the nipple being pulled in.

Different Levels of Nipple Inversion

The level of nipple inversion is based on a scale of 1-3.

The least severe level is often called, “shy” nipple. In this case, the nipple, while inverted, will usually respond to cold or tactile stimulation by protruding normally. Nipples may stay protruding for a while, then go back to being inverted.
In level 2, nipples remain inverted all the time.
At level 3, the most severe level of nipple inversion, not even vigorous stimulation will make the nipple project at all because of severe tissue constriction or scarring.

The Inverted Nipple Correction Advantage

A problem with inverted nipples can lead to problems with self-consciousness and embarrassment. However, inverted nipples can also cause problems beyond aesthetic concerns. They can lead to frustrating issues with breastfeeding, infections, and other physical discomforts. Most people don’t know that this is a readily correctable problem with nipple reconstruction.

What is Inverted Nipple Correction Procedure

Non-surgical correction

Niplette: For women (or men) with the lowest levels of nipple inversion, there are some non-surgical temporary fixes available. Using suction devices that place constant pressure on the nipple provides a temporary solution, but doesn’t correct the underlying structural issues that are causing the nipples to retract.

The Niplette is a gentle instrument that uses gentle suction to draw the inverted nipple out, and remain erect.

Surgery

The permanent fix for inverted nipples is surgery. This is a procedure that is performed under local freezing (anesthesia) and takes about 30 minutes.

During this procedure, a small incision is made under the nipple to allow the cosmetic surgeon to cut the milk ducts which are tethering the nipple. This will lead to loss of the ability to breastfeed. This is accomplished by making a small incision in the areola while the nipple is held in the extended position.

After the tissues are transected, several lines of dissolving sutures are placed under the skin to hold the nipple in the projected position. Once this is done, protective devices are placed over the nipples to hold them in position and prevent them from retracting again during healing. There is a 5% risk of sutures breaking leading to a recurrence and the need for a repeat correction.

During the procedure, Dr. Doshi will over-correct the nipple protrusion (they will look excessively large) because we expect some settling. This is normal. Your final result will not be excessively protruding nipples. As your swelling settles over the next 2-4 weeks, your nipples will attain their intended normal shape and size.

At two weeks, you will return to see the doctor have your special protective dressing changed.

After the first post-operative visit, you will see at almost 12 weeks. If your nipples have maintained their position by this time, it is unlikely they will revert and no further visits are required.

After effects

Following the procedure, a protective bandage will be placed around the newly-protruding nipple. This protective bandage should be worn for 6 weeks and is meant to protect the nipple from external pressure that could push the nipple back inward. The sutures holding the repair together dissolve within a few weeks, and the scar is usually not noticeable since the procedure is minimally invasive and only a small incision is made. You will have discomfort that will easily be managed with simple pain pills. Most of the patients do not need pain pills for more than 1-2 days.

Results will last for

After the first post-operative visit, you will see at almost 12 weeks. If your nipples have maintained their position by this time, it is unlikely they will revert and no further visits are required.

Inverted Nipple Correction Surgery FAQs

Nipple Reconstruction After Breast Cancer
Women who have undergone a mastectomy can also benefit from nipple reconstruction following a Reconstructive Breast procedure. While reconstructive flap or tissue expansion procedures can give a woman back her feminine figure with a newly reconstructed breast – nipple reconstruction can help add the finishing touch for a more natural appearance. There are several different methods that we can use to recreate a nipple and areola for your breast. Grafting is one of the more common procedures, which takes donor skin and tissue to rebuild the nipple. Nipple reconstruction will typically be performed once your breasts have healed from your previous surgery. Not all women choose to undergo this procedure, but those who desire a more natural look will benefit from the surgery.

Are there any risks with nipple correction?
Fortunately, significant complications from nipple corrective surgery are infrequent. Every year, many people undergo successful nipple surgery and experience no major problems and are delighted with the results. Anyone considering surgery, however, should be aware of both the benefits and the risks. Your surgeon will discuss these with you during your consultation.

After nipple correction surgery when can I resume normal activities?
Many patients can return to work and resume most of their normal activities, including some form of mild exercise, after three to five days.

Can I expect aftercare following nipple correction surgery?
Aftercare is an essential part of the recovery process here at Allure Medspa. Once your nipple correction surgery is complete, your surgeon or a member of our nursing staff will arrange regular examinations to monitor your progress.
