What Is Inverted Nipple Repair?
Roughly 10–20 % of people have one or both nipples that lie flat or pull inward. This outpatient procedure gently releases the tight fibers tethering the nipple, re-positions it forward, and secures the change with dissolvable stitches—all under comfortable local anesthesia. You’ll see instant projection, wear a light dressing for one week, and be back to desk work within 24–48 hours. Mild swelling fades by two weeks, and the tiny scar hides in the nipple base.

How Inverted Nipple Repair Works
Prep & anesthesia
The skin is cleansed and comfortably numbed with a small injection of local lidocaine—no IV sedation or general anesthesia needed.
Core step
Through a hidden 3–4 mm incision, tight ducts are released and ultra-fine, dissolvable sutures are placed to keep the nipple everted.
Timeline
The procedure takes about 45 minutes; after a brief recovery check, a trusted adult can drive you home.
Follow-up
Sutures dissolve on their own in 7–10 days. You’ll see us at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months to confirm lasting results.

Ideal candidates
If your inversion is Grade I–III and hasn’t resolved with simple suction—or you don’t plan to have implants—our 45-minute, local-anesthesia nipple-release is the most predictable fix. Mild Grade I cases sometimes improve once a breast implant pushes the nipple forward; we’ll discuss that conservative option first.
Picture daily life post-repair
desk work in <1 week; avoid chest workouts for 2 weeks.
Health checklist
Best for non-smokers in good overall health with no active breast infection, uncontrolled diabetes, or pending cancer evaluations.
Alternatives & add-ons
- Grade I: May correct with breast augmentation alone.
- Grade II–III or persistent Grade I: Quick nipple-release (often combined with implants, lift, or areola reduction) gives lasting symmetry.
