Inverted Nipple Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Inverted nipples, where the nipple retracts inward instead of projecting outward, are a common condition that can affect both women and men. While often harmless, inverted nipples can cause emotional discomfort, self-consciousness, and in some cases, difficulty with breastfeeding. Inverted nipple surgery, or nipple eversion surgery, is a simple yet highly effective procedure designed to correct this condition and restore a natural nipple appearance.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to deliver natural-looking results with minimal scarring and downtime, helping patients regain comfort and confidence in their appearance.
Why Choose Inverted Nipple Surgery?
Patients choose inverted nipple surgery for several reasons, including:
- Correcting the appearance of one or both inverted nipples
- Improving confidence and satisfaction with breast aesthetics
- Enhancing nipple function and projection
- Addressing physical discomfort or hygiene concerns
- Restoring nipple projection for breastfeeding purposes (in certain cases)
Our goal is to achieve natural, symmetrical, and lasting results tailored to each individual’s needs and aesthetic goals.
Customized Approach to Your Inverted Nipple Surgery
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, every procedure is customized to the severity of the inversion and patient preferences.
Inverted Nipple Correction Techniques:
- Mild Inversion (Grade I): Simple release of tethering ducts with minimal dissection.
- Moderate to Severe Inversion (Grades II & III): Surgical release of fibrous bands and ducts combined with internal suturing to maintain projection.
- Optional Breast Augmentation or Lift: Some patients choose to combine nipple correction with other breast enhancement procedures for comprehensive results.
We will recommend the best surgical approach based on a thorough consultation and evaluation.
Consultation and Planning
Your journey at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic begins with a detailed consultation to fully understand your concerns and expectations.
During the consultation, we will:
- Examine the degree of nipple inversion and breast anatomy
- Discuss your desired outcome and realistic expectations
- Explain the surgical process, risks, and potential benefits
- Show before-and-after photos of previous patients
- Answer all your questions about the procedure and recovery
We believe in honest communication and personalized planning to ensure you feel confident and well-informed.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Inverted nipple surgery is a quick and straightforward outpatient procedure, typically performed under local anesthesia.
Surgical Steps:
- Incision Placement: Tiny incisions are made at the base of the nipple, hidden within the natural folds to minimize visible scarring.
- Release of Tethering Tissue: The underlying fibrous bands and milk ducts (if necessary) are gently released to allow the nipple to project naturally.
- Internal Support: Sutures may be placed internally to prevent the nipple from retracting again.
- Closure: Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a protective dressing is applied.
The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and patients can go home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery after inverted nipple surgery is generally quick and involves minimal discomfort.
You will be advised to:
- Wear soft, supportive bras and avoid pressure on the nipple area
- Keep the surgical area clean and dry
- Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for about 1 week
- Follow all aftercare instructions provided by our team
- Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and results
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, with final results becoming visible as swelling subsides.
