inverted nipple correction

Inverted nipples usually become apparent at puberty, can occur in one or both breasts, and can cause embarrassment and distress for many women. Inverted nipples can also make it difficult or impossible to breast feed.

There are several techniques for surgical correction of inverted nipples, and the individual technique depends on whether the nipple is inverted all the time or only part of the time. If the nipple is inverted all the time then the aim of surgery is primarily cosmetic, but if the nipple inversion is less severe, then the aim of the surgery is to preserve the milk ducts with the aim of retaining as much as possible the capability to breast feed, and also attain a normal nipple projection. 

The surgery is performed as a day surgery procedure, and can be performed under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic and sedation, with most patients returning to work within a few days.
