Reasons for Inverted Nipple Surgery

Inverted nipples are frequently observed.

When the nipple does not usually project, they happen to develop because the ducts leading to the nipple are exorbitantly tight. In most cases, having an inverted nipple’s natural occurrence does not increase your risk for any health complications. Moreover, it should not affect your nipple sensitivity.

Although it is not painful, the inverted nipple may affect self-confidence due to defects in breasts. It can also be a problem for women trying to breastfeed because their child cannot hold a flat nipple or inverted ones to suck milk out of the breast. That is why the perfect candidates for this surgery are:

  • People who suffer from a flat nipple and cannot correct it with a device or non-surgical procedure.
  • People who have psychological problems due to defects in their breasts.
  • Women who are having difficulties breastfeeding their babies.
  • People who want an effective treatment with permanent results.

DURING OPERATION

Your surgeon will make a small incision at the nipple base to reach the milk channels that pull the nipple inside. The applied technique depends on the level of inverting techniques.

After stretching or cutting the milk channels according to your situation, your surgeon will use stitches to place nipples at their new site. Your doctor will discuss with you the appropriate technique for your condition.

Inverted Nipple Surgery Techniques

If you are looking for a permanent solution for an inverted nipple, your only option is surgery. There are two different types of surgeries: surgery that preserves the milk ducts and surgery that does not.

Stretching

The reason your nipples become inverted is that the milk ducts are shortened, pulling your nipple inwards. One technique to evert the nipples is to stretch these milk ducts, releasing the nipple's pull. This is seen as the less invasive option because it keeps the milk ducts intact. The primary benefit of this is that it will not impact your ability to breastfeed.

However, we have found that stretching the milk ducts often leads to a high recurrence rate of the inverted nipples. Many surgeons feel that, particularly for grade 2 and 3 inverted nipples, the best solution regarding longevity is to divide the milk ducts.

Dividing

Dividing the milk ducts means making an incision so that the milk ducts are no longer pulling the nipple inwards. From our experience, this method produces much better and long-lasting results than the stretching technique. However, the downside of this technique is that you will not be able to breastfeed after having this procedure. Therefore, if you plan on breastfeeding, it is essential to discuss this with your surgeon as they may advise the stretching technique or wait until after you have breastfed.There are several different techniques your surgeon may use to divide your milk ducts. Results can vary, so it is essential to discuss with your surgeon which technique they will use.

Trampoline Effect: The trampoline effect is where your surgeon uses some of your nipple tissue to form a trampoline effect underneath your nipple to hold it in an everted position.

Splitting the Nipple: At this step, the nipple is split vertically to provide access to the milk ducts before dividing them.

Areola Incision: This is where an incision is made around the junction of your areola and breast skin to locate and divide the milk ducts.

Grades of Inverted Nipples

The severity of inverted or flat nipples is variable and is defined by degrees. Knowing the grade of your inverted nipple can help you determine the best treatment to correct it.

  • Grade 1:  Grade 1 is the slightest form of an inverted nipple and is classified by either flat or slightly inverted nipples, which is when stimulated by touch or temperature variations, become everted. The nipples then remain everted for a particular time before returning to their flat or slightly inverted position. Typically, if you have grade 1 inverted nipples, you will still be able to breastfeed.
  • Grade 2: Grade 2 inverted nipples are more severe than Grade 1, meaning they have a more inverted appearance. They are similar to Grade 1 in that they become everted when stimulated. However, they will immediately go back in rather than everting for a sustained time. It is also still possible to breastfeed with Grade 2 inverted nipples.
  • Grade 3: Grade 3 inverted nipples are the most severe condition with very short milk ducts and permanent inversion. It means that even when the nipples are stimulated, they will not evert. Unlike Grade 1 and 2 inverted nipples, if your nipples fall into the Grade 3 category, it is improbable that you will be able to breastfeed.
