Women dealing with inverted nipples may find that they feel unusual. However, 2% of all women and men struggle with inverted nipples. Inverted nipples can bring about a sense of embarrassment and lack of self-confidence. Dr. Andres delivers inverted nipple correction procedures so that you can feel good about your breasts.

What is inverted nipple correction?

It is found that women are sometimes born with inverted nipples. However, sudden changes in nipple inversion may signify an abnormality in the breast, for which further breast evaluation and imaging are warranted prior to surgical intervention.  An inverted nipple correction is a fairly straightforward procedure. Furthermore, it usually does not interfere with your physical ability to breastfeed later on.

With the aid of Dr. Andres, you can rest assured that you’ll be getting some of the best-inverted nipple correction that Scottsdale has to offer.

About the procedure

Inverted nipple correction surgery is generally performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia alone.  Dr. Andres will make a small incision just at the base of the nipple so as to release or lengthen the “tethering” bands pulling on the nipple.  Once these bands have been cut or stretched and the nipple has been repositioned appropriately, Dr. Andres will close up the incision. An inverted nipple correction surgery is a quick procedure that takes less than an hour to complete. In most situations, the sensations of the nipple will not be affected.
