Nipple surgery can improve a range of concerns, including nipple size, shape, and inversion. It falls broadly into inverted nipple surgery and nipple reduction, and the two procedures address different candidates.

Inverted nipple correction is performed for women before childbirth for cosmetic or hygiene purposes or to make breastfeeding easier, while nipple reduction is performed to improve nipples that are congenitally large or have enlarged after childbirth and breastfeeding.

Inverted Nipple

Inverted Nipples Surgery
If an inverted nipple pops back out with slight stimulation, breastfeeding may still be possible, and it is sometimes corrected by breast augmentation alone. If it does not protrude with stimulation, correcting it with a duct-preserving technique keeps the likelihood of breastfeeding high.
Inverted nipples can cause hygiene problems such as trapped discharge or odor, and in severe cases inflammation, nipple pain, or nipple infection, so correction is recommended.
