What is Inverted Nipple Correction?
Inverted nipples occur when the nipple retracts into the breast rather than protruding outward. This condition can result from factors such as:
-
Congenital development.
-
Shortened milk ducts or connective tissue.
-
Aging, breastfeeding, or other lifestyle factors.
While not always medically concerning, inverted nipples can impact self-esteem, and overall comfort. Inverted nipple correction surgery addresses these concerns, offering a safe and effective solution.
