✔ Medically reviewed by Dr. Ashutosh Shah — M.B., M.S., M.Ch., D.N.B., Board-Certified Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon, Director of Elegance Clinic, Surat (22+ years’ experience).
Retracted nipples are another term for inverted nipples. Some humans are born with them, others grow them later age. Both women and men can have them. Just one nipple is inverted sometimes. Inverted nipples are not a matter of concern. Also, they don't generally make breastfeeding impossible, since the baby will secure the entire areola. However, based on the types of inversion, a person can face or be unable to face breastfeeding difficulties.
An individual may wish to change the form of their nipple related to breastfeeding issues or for cosmetic purposes. Speak to the doctor before you follow the approaches below:
Hoffman's method: This is a manual home exercise to draw the nipple out. Place thumbs at its core on either side of the nipple. Push the thumbs deeply into the tissue of the breast, and softly separate them. This should trigger the outward pointing of the nipple. The amount of time it is staying out varies from individual to individual.
Suction devices: These reflect a non-invasive way for the nipple to be pulled out.
Piercings: A piercing can help hold the nipple upright.
Cosmetic procedures: Healthcare practitioners may use multiple medical technologies to adjust the appearance of the nipple so that it appears outward.
The doctor strives to retain the normal sensitivity of the nipple in every operation, prevent noticeable scarring, and preserve the functioning of the breast duct to encourage breastfeeding.
