Understanding Inverted Nipples with Mr. Turton

Inverted nipples occur when the nipples are pulled inward rather than projecting outward. This condition results from scar tissue causing tethering, or an imbalance between the smooth muscle and short milk ducts immediately behind the nipple skin surface within the breast.

The degree of nipple inversion can vary significantly, from mild cases where the nipple occasionally inverts, or has a deep crease,  to severe cases where the nipple is permanently inverted and unresponsive to manual manipulation.

While this condition is not usually harmful, it can cause emotional distress or self-consciousness, particularly in intimate settings. It may also cause embarrassment as there is no nipple projected when wearing a bra or bikini. It can sometimes be the cause of recurrent infections around the nipple- this may be termed periductal mastitis.

Please also remember the possibilities of breast malignancy with nipple inversion: If the nipple partly inverts or is drawn in all the time, or if the tip of the nipple ulcerates or develops a scab, or if there is any thickening behind the nipple, you should always see a  breast specialist, and be assessed in case of new breast cancer. The nipple can be pulled in by breast cancer and initially it may be hard to detect. Do not ignore this possibility.  Treatment Options for Inverted Nipples in Leeds

Understanding Non-Surgical Treatments with Mr. Philip Turton

If the problem is not too bothersome, after checking that there is no serious underlying cause, you can decide to do nothing. Non-surgical treatments often involve devices or techniques designed to gently pull the nipple outward over time. These methods may include suction devices or exercises aimed at stimulating the nipple to remain in an outward position.

While these options can be occasionally effective for mild cases, they do not usually work well, and may not provide lasting results; they are generally hopeless for moderate to severe inversions.

If non-surgical methods fail or the degree of inversion is too pronounced, surgical correction may be the best solution.

How to Surgical Correction for Inverted Nipples

Surgical correction is a simple, straightforward procedure that provides lasting results. Performed occasionally under local anesthetic, but for formal surgical correction is best done under a general anaesthetic, the procedure involves releasing the tissues that are tethering the nipple inward, allowing it to project outward more naturally. The tissue behind the nipple is accessed through a curved incision across the lower areola border. This allows Mr Turton to dissect behind the tethered nipple, remove scar tissue, release the ducts, evert the nipple and suture under its base to keep the nipple out.

The procedure typically takes an hour and has a high success rate, with most patients achieving permanent correction.

Mr. Philip Turton is a trusted expert in this field and performs numerous inverted nipple correction procedures each year.
