Inverted nipple surgery in Quartz Hospital
About the clinic
Inverted nipple surgery at Quartz Clinique in Istanbul, Turkey, corrects nipples that tuck inward instead of pointing out. The clinic uses specialized techniques tailored to the degree of inversion to restore a natural appearance. Procedures are performed at JCI-accredited facilities like Acıbadem or Memorial to meet international safety standards.
Degrees of Nipple Inversion
Doctors at the clinic categorize the condition into three levels to determine the best treatment. A mild inversion means the nipple is slightly retracted but milk ducts usually stay healthy. Moderate cases involve more retraction and compressed ducts, which might affect future milk production. Severe inversion describes a fully retracted nipple where ducts are tight, often making breastfeeding difficult.
Surgical Techniques
The surgical team selects a method based on the patient's anatomy and goals. Common options include:
- Nipple reconstruction – a small incision is made around the nipple to lift and fix it with stitches.
- Nipple reduction – this corrects inversion caused by large nipples or loose tissue.
- Nipple advancement – the nipple is repositioned forward if a short milk duct is the main cause.
- Milk duct release – a surgeon makes a small incision to free tight ducts causing the retraction.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-operative care is vital for healing and maintaining the new nipple shape. Patients should keep all incisions clean and dry while avoiding pressure or tight clothing. Strenuous physical activity must be paused for a period set by the surgeon. The medical team also instructs patients to watch for redness or swelling to prevent infection. Breastfeeding possibilities after surgery depend on the technique used, especially if milk ducts were preserved.
