Funny and knowledgeable doctor. Kept me distracted and entertained during surgery. His nurse was also kind, asking me questions about myself in order to distract me from worrying before going under the knife. Results look nice so far on day 3 of post op. Prompt answers with my aftercare questions via email as I live in Victoria (not Vancouver).

Please do update! I hope it holds this time around- you are in my thoughts. How are you feeling, was the procedure the exact same, or did your Dr have to do it another way? Crossing my fingers for you!

Hi! Just got my surgery and wondering if bleeding is normal? Mine have been Oozing blood consistently and it’s 24 hours post op. I am getting nervous. Thanks!

I'm also in Vancouver and called Dr. White for an appointment based on chanchan's review but as I'm moving to Victoria soon, I needed an appointment earlier than they had available. I ended up seeing Dr. Esta Bovill and she was great, really fabulous. She charges $1,000 for the surgery and offers the addition of a substance they put between the nipple and the milk ducts to prevent them from re-inverting. I decided to do it as I had read of cases of this happening and second surgeries being necessary. First I had ca consultation with her ($200) then a week later the surgery ($1200). I had my 1wk post surgery a few days ago then will zoom with her in a month. I have been extremely happy with her, the surgery, the results up until now. The bandages will come off in a few more days and I hope I will be just as thrilled with the result then as I have been up to now. Dr Esta Bovill is a professional, does her research and keeps up with the latest technology, and her reputation has been earned through her hard work and skill, not by paying to be top on lists. Highly recommend her!

Oh no! Do they think that your nipples will stay out after the next surgery?

Day 3 Post up-bilateral inverted nipple

chanchan123123October 9, 2017
Feel much better as the nipples look more healed and are evening out in size. Should hopefully be even more even when healed for longer

You look wonderful! I am so happy for you. This is something I REALLY want to do. I also have grade-3. I have had one consult and the surgeon was very discouraging about kind of a wasted thing to do. May I ask which procedure you had done? The one where they go in and either cut or un-tether the the ducts, or one involving a mesh or tissue implant. The implant one is the one I do NOT want- and from what I have read this can be done in an office. You look terrific!

My reserve was the breast feeding. I feel like with the cutting, stitching and separating of the ducts that I may not be able to but I am hoping for the best. Unfortunately you dont know until you give birth and attempt to (but all i have read about seperating grade three the chances are not great) I have seen different techniques where there is a higher chance but seperating the ducts without being able to see by feel, is challenging. He took out four mini pieces of diamond skin around the nipple to add in the incision as well for a bit more protrusion. As you can see after 3 days of healing the little pieces of skin must have been very small as I do not see scars. Thank you, I like them so far and hope over the healing process that they even out a bit more.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. You clearly had a terrific surgeon, you would never even know that you had anything "done". You seem to be healing up beautifully and very quickly, which I am sure is quite reassuring for you that you did the right thing. Your success with this has convinced me even more that this can be done with terrific results. i appreciate your information on what the procedure was- I do NOT want mesh inserted or anything like that- just cut the darn ducts! :) I will look forward to watching your progress- you have given me great hope. My best to you! -xo
