| Female Nipple Eversion
• Back to Surgical Procedures main page >
The appearance of the female breast involves not only the breast volume and shape but also the appearance of the nipple areolar complex. Nipple retraction or inverted nipples can cause self-consciousness because of the nipple shape. There are devices developed to "manually extract" the nipple with suction. If used long enough this technique may work but they are also difficult to use. If the nipple continues to retract, then surgical correction is necessary.
Correction of the inverted female nipple is performed under local or general anesthesia. This relatively simple outpatient procedure can correct the humiliation related with inverted nipples. The procedure can be also carried out along with breast enlargement surgery or with the uplift procedure.
Dr. Apesos has developed his own nipple eversion correction procedure combining the best ideas of several other techniques to correct inverted nipples. His technique is associated with an extremely high percentage of success.
