Inverted nipple correction surgery is a procedure designed to create a natural, outward projection of the nipple. This condition can affect one or both nipples and can be present from birth or develop later due to factors such as breastfeeding, trauma, or certain medical conditions. The goal of this surgery is to create a natural, outward projection of the nipple.
Incisions for this surgery are usually small and placed inconspicuously, leading to minimal scarring. The procedure involves releasing any fibrous bands or ducts that are pulling the nipple inward and placing internal sutures to maintain the newly released nipple projection.
Results are generally long-lasting and most patients can return to work and light activities within a few days to a week after surgery.
A key aspect of preparing for any surgery is that Your surgeon understands your desires and expectations. At your initial consultation, your consultant will explain the procedure in great detail, discuss your expectations and what he/she can achieve for you, ensuring you have realistic expectations of the results.
Your surgeon will also want to evaluate your current physical health and health history, ensuring you are a suitable candidate for surgery. Because this is an elective procedure, you and Your surgeon will naturally carefully discuss the benefits and risks involved, as is the case with any surgical procedure.

You will need someone to take you home when you are discharged by the Surgeon as you will not be able to drive. You may have bruising and swelling around the area. Your surgeon will tell you more about the typical recovery process and may make recommendations based on your individual case but by and large expect to take one week off work. If your job is physical you may require more time. Everyone recovers differently but you can rest assured that we will monitor you closely to ensure the swiftest, safest and most comfortable recovery.

Before and after pictures on websites can be misleading as they may not be patients of the surgeon who will be carrying out your surgery. As every person has completely different expectations and different treatment requirements, it is a much more valuable tool for your consultant to show pictures of not only surgeries that he/she has carried out but also show you results you will be likely to achieve.
