Why Is Personalized Treatment Needed at a Nipple Inversion Clinic?

Nipple inversion is a condition in which the nipple does not protrude normally and is pulled inward into the skin. It can cause hygiene-related concerns as well as aesthetic worries. This condition can also be related to breastfeeding, which makes women pay even more attention to it.

Fortunately, nipple inversion can be corrected through various surgical methods. Today, let’s look at the two representative methods used at a nipple inversion clinic: the buried method and the incision method, and see which cases are suitable for each procedure.

The choice of surgical method depends on the stage of nipple inversion

Nipple inversion can be broadly divided into stages 1 through 3 depending on the severity of the symptoms. Stage 1 refers to a relatively mild case, where the nipple protrudes to some extent but is usually inverted in daily life.

In this case, the buried method may be considered. The buried method is performed while preserving the milk ducts, and a major advantage is that breastfeeding is still possible after surgery. This method is suitable for mild symptoms and is recommended for women who want to preserve their milk ducts.

However, it is important to consider that the buried method may have a risk of recurrence. Because the correction is done while leaving the milk ducts intact, the nipple may become inverted again over time.

In particular, if nipple inversion is stage 2 or higher, the incision method is recommended over the buried method because it can offer a lower risk of recurrence. The incision method reduces the risk of recurrence significantly by excising the milk ducts and correcting the inverted area.

The incision method is suitable for stage 2 to 3 nipple inversion

If nipple inversion is stage 2 or higher, the incision method may be considered. This surgical method focuses on reducing the possibility of recurrence by excising the milk ducts. In cases where the condition is severe, complete correction may be difficult without removing the milk ducts.

When choosing the incision method, it is important to adjust the timing of surgery for women who plan to give birth or breastfeed. At our clinic, surgery is recommended after childbirth or after breastfeeding has ended, and this process helps greatly in preventing recurrence.

A customized solution carried out with the expertise of a breast surgeon

When considering nipple inversion surgery, a customized approach is needed depending on the stage of symptoms and the individual’s circumstances. For example, if the symptoms are mild, the buried method may be appropriate. However, when surgery is performed using the buried method, the possibility of the center splitting or remaining undercorrected cannot be ruled out.

This is especially important to consider if you plan to breastfeed in the future. Here, various consultations and examinations are used to assess the exact condition of the nipple inversion, and then a surgical method suited to the individual’s situation is proposed. Even after surgery using the buried method, if the condition is still not fully corrected or if recurrence is judged possible, the incision method can be performed.

In this way, customized treatment based on the situation improves satisfaction with the nipple inversion clinic and helps many people achieve a more natural body shape.

Careful surgery and aftercare at the nipple inversion clinic

At our clinic, we provide thorough consultations and aftercare for each person considering nipple inversion surgery. In particular, we carefully explain which method is suitable between the incision method and the buried method, as well as postoperative management.

After surgery, a customized management program is provided to help prevent recurrence, and various solutions to support wound healing are also carried out.

If the buried method is chosen with consideration for preserving the milk ducts, careful management after surgery is important to prevent recurrence. If the incision method is chosen, careful attention must also be paid to wound care and the recovery process after surgery.

Through this aftercare, our clinic helps patients achieve healthy and satisfying results. If you are concerned about nipple inversion, consider receiving customized consultation and treatment provided by a nipple inversion clinic.
