Inverted Nipple Correction
While many patients with inward-pointing nipples feel extremely self-conscious about their breasts, in actual fact, 10-20% of the world’s women are born with the condition, and still more pick it up as a result of illness.
In most cases, women with this condition find that stimulation, temperature change, and breastfeeding can return their nipples to “normal”.
However, for those with Grade 3 nipple inversion, achieving protruding nipples is not quite so easy. Unevenness, tight swimwear, and difficulty in cleaning the nipples can all cause embarrassment and even lead to depression. In these cases, surgery is often the only option.

What Are The Risks?
With minor surgery such as this, small infections or wound breakdown can occur, and sensation on the nipple may change, although few patients find this bothersome. Breast feeding can also be difficult after the procedure, due to internal scarring.
Patients are usually extremely pleased with the results of this procedure. However, there is a small risk of some of the protrusion of the nipple being lost after the correction.
