What Are the Causes and Different Grades of Inverted Nipples?
Inverted nipples occur due to short ducts or fibrous bands, and are categorized into 3 grades that guide treatment—from non-surgical to surgical correction.
- Grade 1 – Mild: Nipples appear flat but can temporarily protrude with touch or cold exposure. Usually ideal for non-surgical correction.
- Grade 2 – Moderate: Nipples are noticeably inverted but respond to stimulation, though they quickly revert inward.
- Grade 3 – Severe: Nipples remain fully retracted at all times and typically require surgical release of ducts and fibrous tissue.
Dr. Milan Doshi specializes in tailored inverted nipple correction surgeries in Mumbai—offering safe, aesthetic, and permanent solutions for all grades.
What Are the Benefits of Inverted Nipple Correction Surgery?
Inverted nipple correction surgery offers both cosmetic and functional improvements—boosting self-esteem, comfort, and breast symmetry with lasting results.
- Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance: Creates a natural, outward nipple projection that aligns with your breast contour.
- Boosts Confidence: Many patients report improved self-image and comfort in intimate settings and clothing.
