Chicago Inverted Nipples or Nipple Inversion Correction

Sometimes the breasts do not develop properly and you end up having nipples that are inverted or have caved into the breast. Inverted Nipples affect some women, who of course would rather not have it. The condition is more common than people think.

With inverted nipples, t he nipples tend to retract or invert.  The nipples can form a slit or depression when retracted. Such problems come in different degrees of nipple inversion.  In the milder forms, manual manipulation can make the nipple come out.  In the more severe forms, the nipple cannot be everted.

For many women, having inverted nipples can be distressing.  Nipples lying flat against the breast or actually pulling in from the breast surface can be a source of self-consciousness and breastfeeding problems.

Inversion of the nipple is caused by a short milk duct system running from the chest wall to the nipple.

Women with an inverted nipple basically have a choice of two types of surgical treatments - surgical (with small scars) or surgical (with no scars).
