Inverted Nipple Correction

Female patients who had inverted nipple correction surgery experienced overwhelmingly high rates of satisfaction, with long-lasting results, according to a study led by Dr. G. Stevens in 2004, “An Integrated Approach to the Repair of Inverted Nipples.” With surgical methods that have improved since that time, your surgery can achieve an extremely pleasing, aesthetically and psychologically outcome. More benefits can include: 

• Enhanced appearance
• Improved self-confidence
• Functional improvement
• Reduced discomfort
• Create a more aesthetically pleasing breast shape
• Eliminate the embarrassment of inverted nipples, thereby giving you a higher degree of confidence and a boost in self-esteem
• Improve the overall appearance of your breasts

Discovering if you’re an ideal candidate for inverted nipple correction involves several key factors. Here’s a breakdown of characteristics that typically define the best candidates in Toronto:

• Persistent nipple inversion
• Good health
• Realistic expectations
• Desire for improvement
• Psychological readiness

On the day of your inverted nipple correction surgery at Edelstein Cosmetic in Toronto, you can expect a warm and supportive environment designed to put you at ease. The nipples are a sensitive area, and we will proceed with the gentle and attentive care you need for this surgery. 

The surgery typically begins with the administration of local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once you are comfortably numb, our team of providers and surgeons will make small incisions at the base of the nipple to access the underlying tissue. Depending on the severity of the inversion, various techniques may be employed to release the tethered milk ducts and reshape the nipple to a more outward position. 

Finally, the incisions are meticulously closed, and special dressings are applied for two weeks to promote proper healing. 

We are also able to reduce the size of the nipple. During the initial nipple surgery consultation, your surgeon examines the areas of the nipple that require reduction to determine how best to treat your aesthetic concern. Depending on the patient, the surgeon may recommend a reduction in width, length, or combination. Accomplishing this provides a pleasing level of aesthetic symmetry that improves the overall look of the breast.

The entire procedure is performed with precision and attention to detail to achieve the desired cosmetic outcome while minimizing scarring and preserving nipple sensation. Once you are finished, we will observe you to ensure your body responds well, and you will be free to go home.

During the recovery period after inverted nipple correction surgery, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These symptoms are normal and typically subside within a few days to weeks following the procedure. Patients are advised to follow post-operative care instructions provided by our surgeon team, which may include wearing a supportive bra and avoiding strenuous activities for a specified period. 

Most individuals can resume normal daily activities within a few days, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for two weeks to ensure proper healing.
