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 surgeon to cut the mild ducts which are tethering the nipple. This will lead to loss of the ability to breast feed. 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 to 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.
