Benign inverted nipple: trans-nipple-areolar correction

T R Broadbent, R M Woolf

    Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |December 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Surgical correction of inverted nipples using a direct trans-nipple-areolar incision effectively addresses the deformity and improves hygiene. While nursing is not expected post-surgery, it wasn't possible preoperatively either.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Inverted nipples present a significant cosmetic concern for many patients.
    • Preoperative inability to nurse is common in patients with inverted nipples.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a direct trans-nipple-areolar incision technique for correcting inverted nipples.
    • To assess the impact of the surgical correction on patient hygiene and cosmetic concerns.

    Main Methods:

    • A direct trans-nipple-areolar incision was utilized.
    • Nipple augmentation was performed using flaps of breast tissue.

    Main Results:

    • The surgical technique successfully corrected the inverted nipple deformity.
    • Patient hygiene issues were resolved post-surgery.
    • Nursing ability was not restored, but this mirrored the preoperative condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct trans-nipple-areolar incision with tissue flaps is an effective method for correcting inverted nipples.
    • The procedure resolves cosmetic concerns and improves hygiene without compromising the inability to nurse.
