Inverted nipple correction
Restoring natural projection — gently, precisely and for the long term
About the procedure
An inverted nipple is a condition in which the nipple retracts inward instead of projecting outward. It can be congenital, present from birth, or acquired — after breastfeeding, trauma, infection or an underlying breast condition.
Correction is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia. The surgeon releases the shortened lactiferous ducts and the fibrous bands tethering the nipple inward, allowing it to project naturally. In most cases sensation and the ability to breastfeed are preserved, scarring is minimal and recovery is quick.
Important: nipple inversion that appears for the first time in adulthood — particularly on one side only — should first be assessed by a doctor rather than corrected cosmetically. Please discuss this at a personal consultation.
Restoring natural projection — gently, precisely and for the long term.
The smallest corrections are often the most freeing. My work here is measured in millimeters, but felt as confidence.

What looks like a small correction is, to the patient, the removal of a daily hesitation. I never treat it as minor.
