Nipple Correction Surgery
Nipple Correction Surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to correct issues like inverted, enlarged, or asymmetrical nipples.
It restores a natural projection and proportion that enhances the overall breast appearance.
The surgery can also relieve functional problems, such as difficulty breastfeeding or irritation under clothing.
Overview And Clinical Background
Understanding Nipple Reconstruction
Inverted or misshapen nipples may occur due to congenital factors, breastfeeding, or tissue fibrosis.
Correction surgery restores normal shape, projection, and function using delicate reconstructive techniques.
It’s a short, safe procedure often performed under local anesthesia.
- Indication: Inverted, enlarged, or asymmetric nipples.
- Can be done alongside breast augmentation or reduction.
- Goal: To achieve a natural, balanced nipple appearance.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Patients may notice nipples that appear flat, retracted, or uneven.
Some may also experience psychological distress or self-consciousness due to appearance.
- Common issue: Inverted or flat nipple lacking projection.
- Asymmetrical nipples after breastfeeding or surgery.
- Functional issue: Difficulty with breastfeeding due to duct tethering.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Clinical Evaluation
Diagnosis is based on physical examination of nipple structure and degree of inversion.
No special imaging is usually required unless associated with prior breast conditions.
- Imaging: Ultrasound may be used if underlying mass is suspected.
- Lab tests: Not needed for most cosmetic cases.
- Preoperative assessment ensures symmetry planning and safety.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
The procedure involves releasing the tight ducts or fibrous bands beneath the nipple, allowing it to project normally.
Sutures maintain the new shape while preserving sensitivity and function.
- Conservative: Suction devices can temporarily correct mild inversion.
- Minimally invasive: Surgical release with internal suturing provides lasting correction.
- Reconstruction can be combined with breast reshaping for aesthetic balance.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Recovery is quick, with minor swelling or tenderness for a few days.
Stitches dissolve naturally, and results are long-lasting with minimal scarring.
Sensation typically remains intact.
