Inverted Nipples

Inverted Nipples

The condition of inverted nipples is a rather frequent anomaly caused by the presence of fibromuscular septa that pull the nipple inside the breast instead of bringing it outside.
It is generally congenital but can also develop over time, for example after trauma or pathologies.
A woman with inverted nipples will not always have difficulty breastfeeding, but there are cases where this may be difficult or impossible.
The decisive intervention is outpatient and through a minimally invasive technique it re­establishes the normal anatomical relationships between the nipple and muscle fibers so as to make the nipple come out permanently.
