Overview

Overview

What is an Inverted Nipple Repair?

Normal nipples project outward, giving breasts a natural appearance. Inverted nipples, which can occur in one or both breasts, lie flat against the breast or invert into the breast instead of protruding naturally. A woman may seek an inverted nipple repair for aesthetic reasons, or to provide ease when breastfeeding.

Nipple inversion is classified, depending on the severity. Grade 1 is a mild type of inverted nipple that typically does not require surgery. Grades 2 and 3 are moderate to severe, requiring surgery for a permanent fix.

Our skilled plastic surgeons can perform an inverted nipple repair procedure to enhance the natural beauty of your breasts.

Candidates

Who is the Ideal Candidate?

Patients experiencing flat or inverted nipples are typically good candidates. The ideal candidate will also be in good health, maintaining a stable weight. If the patient is a smoker, they must quit before surgery. Patients looking to have children in the future can discuss the procedure and what it may mean for their outlook on breastfeeding.


Recovery

What Can I Expect from Recovery?

Inverted nipple repairs can be done under local anesthesia, making recovery much easier than other procedures. After the short procedure, the nipple will be sutured to an external stent which will be removed after a week. Your plastic surgeon will often recommend over-the-counter pain medication to manage discomfort, and you will be able to return to daily activity soon after the procedure.
