title: A simple method for the treatment of the inverted nipple.
abstract: We introduce a simple method for correcting the inverted nipple in which there is preservation of the lactiferous duct, less surgical invasion, and negligible scar formation. Our method consists of two parts: releasing fibrous tissue around the lactiferous ducts, and keeping the nipple in the everted position with a bolster suture and milk suction pump.
