Inverted Nipple Correction Sydney
About the treatment
Inverted nipples are a common condition and can cause both functional and cosmetic concerns to the patient. As a common condition in both men and women, inverted nipples, which indent more than they protrude, can result in feelings such as emotional distress, embarrassment and even intimacy issues. Inverted nipple correction serves to rectify this condition, helping to mend and refine the shape of the nipples and ultimately restore your confidence.
Inverted nipple surgery can help repair nipples that are inverted, shy, extended or enlarged for a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing chest area. While this condition may not necessarily pose medical concerns, it can significantly impact your emotional wellbeing.
Expert Plastic Surgeon, Dr Steven Liew and his dedicated team at Shape Clinic strive to restore your self-esteem by refining the chest area for a balanced and more attractive profile while maintaining sensation and functionality in the area.
WHAT ARE INVERTED NIPPLES?
Inverted nipples are irregular shapes where the nipples point inwards instead of projecting outwards. The condition can affect one or both nipples and may be present at birth (congenital inversion) or develop over time (acquired inversion). Inflammation of the breast tissue causes the base of the nipple to get squeezed (this limits stretch and movement in the area).
For women, the condition may arise during breastfeeding due to blocked or clogged milk ducts. An abscess may also cause inverted nipples under the areola or an infection within the breast tissue.
While inverted nipples are not typically considered a health hazard, the condition can diminish a patient’s self-confidence, impact their intimate relationships, and in some cases, reduce their quality of life. Fortunately, surgical treatment can correct the issue, allowing the nipples to project outwards and naturally complement the breast shape.
