Inverted Nipple Correction
Restore Natural Appearance and Confidence
Inverted nipple correction is a minor surgical procedure designed to correct nipples that are retracted inward rather than projecting outward. Whether the condition has been present since birth or developed over time, this procedure can restore a more natural appearance while preserving breast harmony whenever possible.
At French Aesthetic Medical & Surgical Clinic, Dr. Albane Bienaime performs inverted nipple correction using advanced surgical techniques tailored to each patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What Is Inverted Nipple?
An inverted nipple occurs when the nipple is pulled inward instead of projecting outward. This condition may affect one or both nipples and can vary from mild to severe.
Some people are born with inverted nipples, while others may develop the condition later in life due to shortened milk ducts, scarring, ageing, or previous surgery.
What Can Inverted Nipple Correction Treat?
The procedure can help correct:
- Congenital inverted nipples
- One or both inverted nipples
- Mild, moderate, or severe nipple inversion
- Cosmetic concerns affecting breast appearance
- Discomfort or hygiene difficulties caused by nipple inversion
A medical assessment is recommended for nipples that become newly inverted, as this may require further evaluation.
Benefits of Inverted Nipple Correction
- Restores a natural nipple projection
- Improves breast appearance and symmetry
- Boosts self-confidence
- Quick outpatient procedure
- Minimal scarring
- Long-lasting results
- Short recovery time
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
- Have one or both inverted nipples
- Feel self-conscious about the appearance of your nipples
- Are in good general health
- Have realistic expectations regarding the results
During your consultation, Dr. Bienaime will discuss your goals, examine the degree of inversion, and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
The Procedure
Inverted nipple correction is usually performed under local anaesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
A small incision is made at the base of the nipple to release the tight fibres or ducts causing the inversion. The nipple is then gently repositioned into a natural outward position and secured using specialised techniques to maintain projection.
The procedure generally takes between 30 and 60 minutes.
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days.
Temporary swelling, tenderness, and mild bruising are common during the early healing period. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to support optimal healing.
Results are visible immediately after surgery and continue to improve as healing progresses, providing a more natural and balanced breast appearance.
