Fortunately, inverted nipple correction surgery provides an effective solution. It restores the natural appearance of your nipples and addresses any related concerns.
Is this procedure, offered by Jeffrey C. Dawes, MD, FRCSC Plastic and Dermatologic Surgery, right for you? Let’s explore the details so you can make an informed decision.
Inverted Nipple Correction Surgery Explained
Inverted nipple correction surgery is fairly straightforward. During the procedure, Dr. Dawes will release the underlying tissue that is pulling the nipple inward. This allows the nipple to protrude naturally.
Who is a Good Candidate?
A good candidate is someone who has one or two inverted nipples. Candidates should also meet the following criteria:
- Physical Health: Candidates should be in good general health. They should not have any underlying conditions that could impair healing or increase risks. Examples include a compromised immune system, bleeding disorders, and diabetes.
- Persistent Inversion: Do your nipples remain inverted and not respond to manual stimulation or other non-surgical interventions? If so, you might be a good candidate for this procedure.
- Emotional and Psychological Readiness: Candidates should have realistic expectations about the surgery’s outcomes. They should also be emotionally prepared for the procedure and recovery process.
- Desire for Aesthetic Improvement: Individuals who are self-conscious about the appearance of their inverted nipples and seek to enhance their appearance or improve symmetry are suitable candidates.
- Functional Concerns: Those who experience difficulties with breastfeeding or irritation due to inverted nipples may also benefit from the procedure.
- Non-Pregnant and Non-Lactating: Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding should wait until they are no longer nursing before considering this surgery.
