What technique can be used to correct grade 3 inverted nipples? (Photos)

Asked By:kareng1022

I had inverted nipple correction on grade 3 nipples and BA done 5 weeks ago. My doctor says he spread the ducts a lot, used a filler and added stitches. However, immediately following surgery they were still inverted. He claims there wasn’t enough tissue underneath to hold them out. I’ve been using a nipplette suction device and it takes out the entire nipple but once I remove it, they sink back in. What technique can be used to keep them out? Thank you!
