How is Inverted Nipple Correction Surgery Performed | London & Essex?

Professor Ben Miranda performs inverted nipple surgery in London Harley Street & Essex. The nipple inversion repair technique required depends on the severity or grade of the inverted nipples. Grade I inverted nipples point inwards but can easily be pulled out; when inverted nipple surgery is required, a ‘milk duct sparing’ nipple inversion repair technique may be possible, where the nipple is pulled out, incisions are made around the base, the milk ducts and tissue are stretched, and sutures are inserted to keep the nipple projected and in place. Grade II inverted nipples may also be pulled out, however they invert again quickly, and Grade III inverted nipples often cannot be pulled out at all. Grades II and III inverted nipples often have shortened milk ducts and extra fibrous bands; as such, ‘nipple duct sparing’ inverted nipple repair may not be possible to achieve, as the milk ducts may need to be surgically divided to be able to pull the inverted nipple out and maintain its projection. Following inverted nipple surgery, a special dressing is applied, to keep the nipple projected or ‘pulled out’ and this is usually kept in place for 1 week following surgery.
