Simple technique for inverted nipple correction

Several different techniques have been developed and currently are in use for correction of the inverted nipple. The diversity of techniques indicates the lack of a good, sustainable, and durable solution for this quite common problem. This report discusses a new technique in which two flaps are inserted beneath the nipple through a small tunnel. The advantages of this procedure are its simplicity, the creation of a durable support for the nipple, and the lack of transverse scars in the areola surrounding the nipple. The follow-up period up to 4 years for 11 patients (18 nipples) demonstrates the validity of this technique.
