Inverted Nipples Correction

Procedure Description

Inverted nipples are usually caused by short milk ducts that tether the nipple inwards. Although mainly an aesthetic issue, it can affect breastfeeding and psychology. Correction can be achieved with special suction devices or surgically (with duct division or preservation), offering a permanent solution and natural result.
