Inverted nipple correction (inverted mamilla)

Inverted or not-erected breast nipples are present by 10% of women.

By young women it can lead to the psychical problem, but it can also represent a serious problem while nursing. By inverted breast nipples their congenital or developmental defect is concerned.

Here from eight to twelve milk ducts are reduced, so the breast nipple remains pulled-in. This defect can be present on one or both sides.

The operative intervention can be done only after finishing of breast development.

Although all operative methods with included milk ducts transection perform the esthetical erection of breast nipples for a long time, it leads in general to nursing inability.

Indication:

Nach einer Mamillenrandschnittführung werden die deutlich verkürzten Milchgänge durchtrennt und mit Hilfe einer Tabaksbeutelnaht der Nippel ( Papille ) wieder aufgerichtet und fixiert. Durch eine abschließende Stütznaht in Verbund mit dem Verband wird das OP - Ergebnis für 3 Wochen gesichert.

Operation:

After the incision is done on the edge of mammilla the considerably reduced milk ducts are transected, erected by means of nipple (papilla) pouch suture and fixed. The OP-results will be firmed for 3 weeks by means of final supporting suture together with bandage.
