Inverted Nipple Correction
Before The Inverted Nipple Correction Operation
Introduction to Inverted Nipple Correction
In the majority of cases, inverted nipples occur as a result of a congenital defect caused by an underdevelopment of the milk ducts, which retract the nipples as the breast develops. This condition can also be acquired after certain breast diseases e.g. mastitis, breast cancer, following breast surgery or after childbirth.
Inverted nipples can be a major cause of embarrassment to the sufferer but are readily amenable to correction by surgery.
The purpose of inverted nipple correction is to pull out or evert the hidden nipples so that they protrude from the centre of the areola.
The London Cosmetic Surgery Centre has successfully performed inverted nipple corrections on many women in over 20 years.
Am I Suitable For Inverted Nipple Correction?
Nipple inversion is classified into 3 grades according to the severity of the condition.
• Grade 1: can be pulled out easily and maintain this projection. This type will also respond to external stimulation.
• Grade 2: can be relatively easily pulled out but have a tendency to retract easily.
• Grade 3: is severely retracted and difficult to pull out manually.
Factors to Consider Before Inverted Nipple Correction Surgery
Many techniques have been developed to correct inverted nipples but none are 100% successful and further adjustments occasionally need to be made.
You will need to take 1 day off work after an inverted nipple correction operation.
The Inverted Nipple Correction Consultation
At the preoperative consultation for inverted nipple correction you will be asked to complete a medical questionnaire before you see the surgeon. After reviewing your medical history, the surgeon will specifically discuss the concerns that you have about your nipples and what you wish to achieve with surgery.
After examining you, the surgeon will outline what can be achieved with surgery and give you a detailed explanation of the inverted nipple correction procedure, the likely results and the usual course of postoperative events. The surgeon will also answer any questions that you may have about the inverted nipple correction operation.
At the end of your consultation, you will be issued with detailed written information about the inverted nipple correction operation which you are strongly advised to read carefully at home. If you have any further queries/concerns, these can be discussed with the surgeon at a further consultation.
