A sunken nipple is a condition in which the nipple is recessed instead of protruding outwards. This condition of the breast causes both aesthetic concerns and can also be preferred for the breastfeeding function to be comfortable.
Nipple depression can be seen in both men and women. It is seen in 10% of women. Especially women may be psychologically disturbed by this condition.
The nipple, known as aerola in the medical literature, is brown and pink in colour and contains 17 milk ducts. The aerola, which makes the breast look more aesthetic, has an elastic structure and has a nipple protrusion in the centre.
There is a muscle tissue in the lower part of the aerola, which contracts, erects and hardens in response to stimulation such as cold, fear, sex drive.
The shapes of the tissues in the nipple area can be found in different ways. These are nipple size, nipple absence and the most common and disturbing nipple depression. All these different shapes can be brought to the desired form with aesthetic surgery.

Nipple depression is a condition that can be congenital or acquired. The main reasons for its subsequent formation are as follows:
Infections in the nipple can lead to blockage and shortening of the milk ducts. This leads to nipple collapse. In order to avoid this problem, a doctor should be consulted in case of infection.
Nipple depression surgery is performed under local anaesthesia. No pain or ache is felt during the operation due to local anaesthesia. It takes approximately 30-60 minutes. It is a mild operation, you can be discharged the same day and return to work and social life the next day.
A sunken nipple is caused by the milk ducts being short and the nipple being pulled inwards. In the operation, the movement area of the milk ducts is expanded. The milk ducts, which can extend, are shaped in such a way that the tip protrudes as it should be.
Nipple depression is handled at 3 levels:
Mild Level Collapse: It easily comes out as a result of pressure on the nipple and pulling the nipple by hand. These people do not have breastfeeding problems.
Moderate depression: When the nipple is pulled out by hand, it comes out but soon escapes back in. At this level, manual pulling or pressure does not work, they can achieve successful results with surgical operation.
Advanced Depression: At this level, the nipple does not come out even if manual pressure or massage is applied. Breastfeeding is also not possible because the milk ducts cannot function. Surgical intervention is mandatory for breastfeeding.
Although the risks that may occur after nipple surgery are rare, they are as follows:
For a healthy recovery period after the operation on the nipple, the following should be considered:
Although nipple collapse surgery may rarely cause temporary loss of sensation, it is not permanent.
The operation usually does not cause any problems with breastfeeding. However, since the surgery will be performed directly on the milk ducts, it is recommended that patients apply for surgery after the breastfeeding period.
This condition, which is found in 10 out of every 100 women, can be seen in both men and women.
No, the slight scar after the operation will disappear on its own in a short time.
Patients must be over 18 years of age for breast development to be complete.
No, unfortunately it is not possible to remove the nipple without surgery.
The operation does not cause cancer or any health problems.
As with any surgery, it is possible to see blood accumulation, infection or bleeding in nipple collapse surgery. However, these situations almost never occur. Rarely, temporary numbness of the nipple can be seen.
This condition, which occurs due to short milk ducts during puberty, does not occur as a result of any impact or trauma.
The operation takes place in approximately half an hour under local anaesthesia.
No, patients do not need to have stitches removed because self-melting sutures are used in the operation.
Patients are discharged on the same day.
Especially in the first 15 days after the operation, people should not engage in activities that require physical strength. There is no harm in doing sports one month after the operation, but the person should take care not to hit the chest area.
No, the result obtained after the operation will be permanent. Therefore, there is no need to repeat the operation.
