Inverted Nipple Correction
Inverted Nipple Correction
Inverted nipple correction is a minor surgical procedure designed to correct nipples that are turned inward rather than protruding outward. It’s a common condition that may affect one or both nipples and can be present from birth or develop over time due to breastfeeding, aging, or trauma. The goal of the procedure is to release the tethering tissue and restore the natural outward projection of the nipple.
Who Is It For?
You may be a good candidate for inverted nipple correction if:
- You have one or both nipples that appear inverted or flat
- You experience self-consciousness or dissatisfaction with the appearance of your nipples
- You have irritation or hygiene concerns caused by the inversion
The Procedure
Consultation
You’ll meet with your surgeon to discuss your goals and assess the degree of inversion.
Local Anesthetic
On the day of your procedure, the area is numbed to keep you comfortable.
Correction
A small incision is made to release the tissue pulling the nipple inward.
Reshaping
The nipple is gently repositioned to project outward.
Closing and Dressing
The incision is closed with fine stitches, and a small dressing is applied.
Recovery
Most people return to normal activities within 1–3 days, with minimal discomfort.

Frequently asked questions
What causes inverted nipples?
Causes include short milk ducts, fibrous tissue, previous breastfeeding, or trauma. Some people are born with them, while others develop them over time.
Is the surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, with most patients experiencing only mild postoperative tenderness.
How long is the recovery time?
Recovery is generally quick. Most patients resume regular activities in 2–3 days.
Will I have visible scars?
The incisions are very small and placed in discreet areas. Scarring is usually minimal and fades over time.
Can I still breastfeed after the procedure?
It depends on the surgical technique. If preserving breastfeeding is important to you, let your surgeon know during your consultation.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, in most cases the results are long-lasting. However, future changes in the body (e.g. pregnancy, breastfeeding) may affect results.
