Inverted Nipple Correction
Inverted nipple correction is a surgical procedure designed to address nipples that are retracted inward rather than projecting outward. This condition can affect one or both nipples and may be present from birth or develop over time due to factors such as breastfeeding, aging, or prior surgery. While not typically harmful, inverted nipples can affect confidence and interfere with breastfeeding.
During your consultation, Dr. Viezel-Mathieu will assess the degree of inversion and determine the best approach based on your anatomy and personal goals. There are several surgical techniques available, ranging from minimally invasive options that preserve milk ducts to more corrective procedures for severe inversion. The choice of technique will depend on whether future breastfeeding is a priority, as well as the severity of the condition.

Recovery is generally quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days. Postoperative care includes protecting the area and avoiding pressure or trauma during the healing process.
This procedure is a safe and effective way to improve nipple appearance and restore a more natural breast contour. Inverted nipple correction may also be combined with other breast procedures, such as augmentation or lift, for more comprehensive aesthetic results.
Inverted nipple correction is typically performed under local anesthesia and can often be done as a minor day procedure. The procedure involves releasing the tethered tissue beneath the nipple to allow it to project naturally. In some cases, additional support structures or small sutures are used to maintain the new shape.
