Nipple Inverted Surgery / Inverted Nipple Correction

Inverted nipple correction is a procedure for nipples that do not protrude from the breast as expected. Inverted nipples are typically caused by tight or shortened breast duct tissue. This condition can occur on one or both breasts and can affect men as well.

Some women choose to combine inverted nipple correction with other procedures, such as breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction. In certain cases, these combined procedures are performed under general anesthesia.

At Preecha Aesthetic Institute, inverted nipple surgery is performed under local anesthesia as a day procedure by Dr. Burin Wangjiraniran, MD, FRCST, and Dr. Sutin Khobunsongserm, MD, both board-certified in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. While there is a small risk that the nipple may become inverted again, a simple revision can be performed if necessary.

Nipple correction surgery (inverted nipple) procedure is performed using a local anesthetic areola and an incision will be made.

The nipple and areola tissue is carefully lifted while keeping it connected to the breast and stitched into a new, protruding shape utilizing a purse-string style.

A small incision as needed to release the tension on the nipple or nipples and allow them to naturally protrude to their normal state.

After the procedure, the area of the incision will be bandaged, so you won’t see the results right away. However, once the bandages are removed, your nipples will be protruding normally, so you will see immediate results.

The area may be swollen or tender due to the incisions, but once the swelling goes down, your breasts will look as they normally do, with the exception that your nipples are in the proper position.

 

Following nipple correction surgery, this is a minor surgery. You should be fully recovered within two or three days.

There may be soreness or redness around the affected area for a few days and you may wish to sleep on your back for a while because of nipple tenderness but any discomfort should be relatively minor.

Continue to follow our surgeon's instructions and attend follow-up visits as scheduled. Stiches will be removed on day 5-7, after surgery date.
