Individual factors and personal preferences will help you and Dr Lim to determine your appropriate nipple size and the location of incisions required. Dr Lim will discuss this with you during the consultation process. After making an incision at the base of the nipple, deep attachments that pull in the inverted nipple will be released. These may include milk ducts and other tissue bands that are too short to allow the nipple to protrude naturally. The nipple is brought out into a normal position and a circumferential suture is placed at the base of the nipple to prevent it from retracting. A foam doughnut is used to dress over the nipple to avoid any pressure on the nipple while healing.
