Inverted Nipple Repair Before and After Pictures by Steven Michael Lynch, M.D., F.A.C.S.

22 year-old man with significant inverted nipples. This patient like most others will not go on the beach nor ever be seen without his shirt. For a man, this makes normal summer activites difficult because he is expected to take his shirt off when blending into summer fun. Instead, these patients cover up and wait for the weather to support their wearing upper body clothing. The patient is seen one week post op. Note the temporary bruising . . . this will be absorbed within 2-3 weeks. The nipples will not invert again! This result is seen "at the table" as the nipple bud comes out and stays out. Pretty neat for patients who like to watch . . . local anesthesia in the office. The procedure takes about 20 minutes a side.

  • If you have questions regarding inverted nipple repair, a doctor listed with LocateADoc.com can discuss your options in greater detail.

We hope this information will help you make a stronger, more confident decision to move forward with this procedure.

    Many men and women are concerned with the appearance of their nipples. A nipple can invert or distort in size and shape in many ways. For some prospective patients, it is a genetic abnormality. This can be corrected through surgery. The nipple can also distort as the result of trauma or injury. Many women find that their nipples invert after breast feeding. For many patients this is a necessary procedure to help them feel more comfortable and confident in their own bodies.

    The procedure is fairly simple and only requires the patient to be under local anesthesia. The plastic surgeon will shape tissue to create a balanced projection. Sutures will hold the tissue in place while it heals. After two weeks, sutures will dissolve leaving the patient with well-formed, projected nipples.

    As with any surgery, there are a few risks to consider. Some patients find that sensation is diminished after surgery. There are also surgical risks like bleeding, scarring, and potential infection.

    The first step is speaking with a surgeon about your candidacy for inverted nipple repair surgery. To take that next step, contact a surgeon listed here on LocateADoc.com.
