Inverted Nipple Repair in Seoul

What Is Inverted Nipple Repair?

Inverted nipples occur when the nipple pulls inward instead of projecting outward. This can be caused by short milk ducts, tight connective tissue, or genetic factors. Inverted nipple repair surgically releases these structures to allow the nipple to protrude naturally.

The procedure can help with:

Flat or inward-pulling nipples
Difficulty with hygiene or irritation
Functional concerns such as challenges with breastfeeding
Aesthetic imbalance or self-confidence issues

Types of Inverted Nipple Correction in Seoul

1. Mild Inversion Correction
Uses small incisions to release tight fibers while preserving duct function.

2. Moderate to Severe Correction
May involve releasing or dividing ducts to achieve stronger projection with long-lasting support.

3. Internal Support Techniques
Advanced suturing methods are used to maintain nipple shape and prevent retraction.

4. Inverted Nipple Repair Combined with Breast Surgery
Often paired with:

Breast augmentation
Breast lift
Breast reduction
Implant removal or fat transfer
