An inverted nipple points inward instead of outward, giving the breast a different appearance. It can occur in just one nipple or both nipples at the same time, and affects around two percent of all women at some point during their lives. If you have an inverted nipple, it might make you self-conscious about your appearance, particularly during intimacy. It can also make breastfeeding more challenging.
There is an outpatient surgical procedure that reverses an inverted nipple to improve the overall appearance of the breast and improve patients’ self-confidence at the same time. The procedure has a high success rate, and involves very little discomfort and downtime when performed by our experienced plastic surgeons.
