Why is a personalized diagnosis by a breast surgery specialist essential for inverted nipple surgery?

Many people feel discomfort or lose confidence because of inverted nipples. Although it may seem like only an appearance-related issue, it can actually make hygiene management difficult or cause a complex about appearance, leading to problems in daily life.

When these concerns become deeper, considering inverted nipple surgery can be an important choice. Today, we will look at the various methods of inverted nipple surgery and the pros and cons of each method.

How should inverted nipple surgery be chosen?

An inverted nipple, where the nipple is pulled inward, can cause not only appearance-related concerns but also functional discomfort. That is why it is important to choose a surgical method that matches the severity of the inverted nipple and the individual's situation. For this reason, our clinic offers two main methods for inverted nipple surgery.

If it is not severe, the burying method is also possible

If the inverted nipple is mild, stage 1, the burying method can be considered. Since this method preserves the milk ducts while performing the surgery, one advantage is that breastfeeding is still possible after the procedure. However, it should be noted that depending on the severity of the condition, the burying method may not be the appropriate choice.

Because this is a method that leaves the milk ducts intact during inverted nipple surgery, there is also the possibility of recurrence over time or of remaining undercorrected. Therefore, the burying method should be carefully selected only in specific cases.

The incision method is effective for stages 2 to 3

For more severe stage 2 to 3 inverted nipples, the incision method is recommended. Instead of preserving the milk ducts, this method reduces the risk of recurrence. As a result, effective outcomes can be expected. In particular, the incision method focuses not just on correcting the shape, but on carefully improving the underlying cause of the inverted nipple.

Of course, in the case of incision surgery, the risk of recurrence is lower, but breastfeeding afterward becomes impossible, so a careful decision may be necessary.

What should be considered during surgery?

Inverted nipple surgery is not simply a procedure to improve appearance; it must be carefully decided while considering future plans as well. For example, if you are planning childbirth and breastfeeding, our clinic suggests performing the incision method after childbirth. This is because doing so can reduce the risk of recurrence and allow for more stable surgical results.

Our clinic carries out customized surgery tailored to each individual's symptoms and increases satisfaction through thorough post-operative care. If you have any further questions about inverted nipples, feel free to consult with us here.
