Nipple correction for inverted nipples: Every breast is uniquely shaped. Beauty is, as we all know, in the eye of the beholder. However, there are various reasons why some patients are dissatisfied with their breasts and nipples.

Nipple correction for inverted nipples/ inverted nipples… Causes:

This can be, for example, large nipples or a inverted nipple If the proportions of the nipples do not match the size or shape of the breast, this can be disturbing. Therefore, nipple correction offers the possibility of changing the shape and size of the nipples.

In addition, there are so-called inverted nipples (or inverted nipples) that point inwards and are therefore not considered attractive. In addition, breastfeeding women with inverted nipples may have the problem that the nipples do not stand up and the baby has difficulty drinking. Both the optical problem and the precaution for future offspring can be solved with a nipple correction remedy needs to be found.

Dr. Durnig: “Inverted nipples or hollow nipples represent an aesthetic and partly hygienic problem. However, an inverted nipple can be treated with a relatively small intervention well remedied The fibers, which pull the nipple inwards, are thereby severed, then fixed in position with threads."

Although the shape, size and position of the nipples is usually congenital, other circumstances can also cause changes in the nipples. Inverted nipples or nipples that are too large can through pregnancies or significant weight loss be favored.

Through a nipple correction it is possible to restore the beauty of the breast or solve other problems such as pain.

Nipple correction – mostly retracted nipple – synonym & principle

synonyms: inverted nipple, inverted nipple, inverted nipple

principle: Loosening of the connective tissue connections in the area of the nipple and fixing the position using support stitches inside and usually temporarily also outside, in some cases also reducing the size of the nipple

 


is often combined with…

  • breast lift  but then better in a second procedure
  • breast augmentation in the same procedure or also in a second procedure

efficiency

Normally the nipple can be lifted well - but in some cases the nipple can move inwards again (due to scarring etc.)


duration of surgery

On average, the correction of an inverted nipple takes approx. 20 minutes


repetition of the treatment

Recurrences (=reappearance) = renewed retraction of the nipple are possible. Then the treatment can be repeated


Application in which body region

nipple


decision-making aids

Essentially, these are fundamental decisionsthat constitute the correction of an inverted nipple.

1

Should I have a nipple correction do it at all? – Sometimes it is better not to do something at all.

Good advice highlights all the advantages and disadvantages of an operation – and thus helps you make the right decision.

2

alternatives

There are systems that work with negative pressure. The negative pressure is intended to stretch the connective tissue strands accordingly and thus push the nipple outwards over a longer period of time.

In most cases, the treatment is rather complex.

3

Expense

The operation does require a little more effort once, but you get immediate results – and in most cases the results last.

4

Breastfeeding & Function

is usually possible after a nipple correction – but logically cannot always be guaranteed.

And without surgery, the nipple remains retracted, which in most cases makes breastfeeding impossible.

5

optics

Of course, a nipple is important for the appearance and aesthetics of the breast. From this point of view, a correction always makes sense.


What should you have heard/read before having a nipple correction?

A nipple correction is a relatively minor procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia. Patient satisfaction is generally very high.


Prejudices

Inverted nipples improve on their own


facts

Unfortunately, this is usually not the case – so surgery almost always makes sense.


possible side effects/complications

  • infection
  • wound healing disorder
  • swelling, bruising
  • Asymmetry (always present on two sides to a certain extent)
  • Recurrence = reappearance, or partial retraction by scar strands
  • necrosis

details Information on possible complications can be found in the information documents

In summary, good preparation (information, explanation, preliminary examinations, problem analysis, etc.) and the surgeon's experience are important factors for the success of a nipple correction


You should avoid…

  • because the result cannot be ensured by appropriate massage (you will receive all information about this during the follow-up checks)

anesthesia

Possible anesthesiaforms for a nipple correction

  • Local anesthesia (actually always sufficient)
  • theoretically twilight sleep or general anesthesia

the operation

Deadlines must be met in Austria (surgical information and anesthesia information) – this means that there is a waiting period of at least 3-4 weeks from the decision to undergo breast enlargement, but often longer.

Do not take any blood-thinning medication until 10 days before surgery.

THINKING POSITIVELY – helps. It not only prolongs life, but is also always a good first step towards any treatment or operation.


the operation

Leave the special bandage in place for the first few days if possible (relieves pressure on the nipple)

Rest for 3 weeks in the sense of:

  • do not lift more than 5-6kg
  • nothing jerky
  • Protect the wound

our preferred technique/recommendation

  • 3-4 stitches on the edge of the nipple
  • circular fixation suture – which dissolves itself
  • self-dissolving seams on the outside
  • Anesthesia Local anesthesia
  • special bandage in the first days after surgery

Cost

guidelines –

650 Correction of inverted nipple in LA one side

1200 Correction of inverted nipple in LA both sides

 

The prices listed are average values and could be cheaper or more expensive. The final total price will be determined during the second consultation (=consent) depending on the individual effort/planned operation time, combinations, desired clinic/room category and other factors.

 

reasonable budget

A final cost estimate is only possible and meaningful after a detailed on-site inspection and clarification of individual wishes.


downtime

In general, 2-3 weeks of rest be taken into account – this means specifically:

  • lifting no more than 5-6 kg
  • no jerky movements
  • Do not irritate the wound
  • do not lie on the nipples or exert any pressure

Important to know…

  • with massage outwards the result can usually be maintained well, otherwise an inward scar pull can lead to a (partial) recurrence
