Inverted nipples refer to a congenital condition where the nipples do not protrude outward and are buried inside.

The beauty hidden in your breasts~

For inverted nipples, during pre-operative consultation, various factors such as the condition of the nipples and the possibility of breastfeeding must be considered to select the most appropriate method among various surgical options.

Since recurrence is not uncommon, an appropriate surgical method tailored to the degree of inversion must be selected during surgery, and an accurate level of inversion correction is required.

Inverted Nipple Surgery Method

How is inverted nipple surgery performed?

Triangular flap method

In the case of an inverted nipple, fibrosis is very severe and the lactiferous ducts are shortened and pulled inward. Without damaging the milk ducts, the milk ducts and fibrous tissue must be elongated to pull the nipple out, and then deficient dermal tissue must be supplemented through a dermal flap.

Purse-string suture method

Through a small incision around the nipple, the band-like fibrous tissue pulling the nipple downward is severed, and after elongating the milk ducts, tissue beneath the nipple is supplemented, and the nipple is drawn outward and fixed. By minimizing damage to the milk ducts, breastfeeding remains possible even after surgery. In addition, it has the advantages of being a relatively simple procedure and leaving barely noticeable scars.
