Inverted nipple correction surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to address the condition of inverted or retracted nipples. Inverted nipples are nipples that are pulled inward rather than protruding outward. This can be a source of self-consciousness or dissatisfaction for individuals, as it may affect the appearance of the breasts and can cause functional issues such as difficulty with breastfeeding or nipple sensitivity.

During inverted nipple correction surgery, the plastic surgeon employs various techniques to release the tissue that is causing the inversion. The specific technique used depends on the severity of the inversion and the individual’s unique circumstances. The procedure typically involves making small incisions around the base of the nipple and carefully dividing or releasing the underlying tissue, allowing the nipple to project outward. Sutures are then used to secure the newly positioned nipple in its corrected position.

The goal of inverted nipple correction surgery is to enhance the appearance of the nipples and improve self-confidence. By addressing the inverted or retracted nipples, the surgery can create a more symmetrical and balanced breast appearance. It can also address functional concerns, making breastfeeding easier and potentially improving nipple sensitivity.

Candidates for inverted nipple correction surgery are individuals who are bothered by the appearance of their inverted nipples and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure. It is important for candidates to be in good overall health and undergo a thorough evaluation by a qualified plastic surgeon. During a consultation, the surgeon will assess the severity of the inversion and discuss the surgical options, expected results, and potential risks and complications associated with the procedure.
