Patient's question:
When I entered puberty, I discovered that my nipples were somewhat abnormal. Both nipples were inwards instead of protruding outwards. Many times, eating caused inflammation of my nipples, which was very bad for my health. I want to ask if such inverted nipples require breast plastic surgery.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Nipple inversion is primarily congenital, but it can also be caused by trauma or breast tumors. Nipple inversion results from the underdevelopment of smooth muscle in the nipple and areola. These muscle fibers pull inward, and combined with a lack of supportive tissue beneath the nipple, this forms nipple inversion. This condition can be improved through breast surgery.
