How Inverted Nipple Correction is performed
The procedure is often performed under local anesthesia or sedation, with the option of using fine sutures and a milk duct-preserving suturing strategy. Through a small incision, the fibrous bands pulling the nipple inward are released, with the aim of not cutting off the patent milk ducts. Then, superficial or suspension sutures are used to maintain eversion, with meticulous hemostasis and shaping.
