Inverted Nipple Repair in Newport Beach, CA
Many women feel that the overall beauty and balance of the breasts is compromised when the nipples project inwards rather than outwards. Flat or drawn-in nipples, in addition to causing cosmetic concerns, can change the look of clothing and swimwear. Dr. Savalia in Newport Beach performs strategic repair techniques for inverted nipples, creating a more conventionally beautiful aesthetic that will maximize your self-confidence.
For most women, inverted nipples are a congenital condition, meaning they have had them since birth. However, some patients will develop inverted nipples later in life through injury, trauma, massive weight loss, infections, cancer, disease, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Inverted nipples can occur when the breast ducts are truncated, or the breast tissue is tightened. If the nipples suddenly become inverted, it’s essential that you see a doctor right away to diagnose any underlying medical issues.
Inverted nipple repair, performed using local anesthesia, is a simple, straightforward procedure to reverse this fairly common condition. It can provide women with a more natural-looking breast appearance and the proper nipple projection for their bodies. Two tiny incisions are created to release the breast tissue and allow the nipple to resurface in an organic fashion. Dr. Savalia focuses on providing a balanced, symmetrical outcome that is carefully tailored to the patient’s wishes.
