Surgery for Inverted Nipples

Christopher L. Hess, MD answers: Is there a treatment for inverted nipples?

What is the procedure was to correct inverted nipples? Is it a difficult or painful procedure? It doesn't really bother me but it does look weird and I'm a little self conscious about it.

There are as many ways to correct inverted nipples as there are inverted nipples.  This means that none of them really work.  First the tissue under the nipple that is pulling it inward must be divided.  This will result in completely loss of nipple sensation.  Then to prevent scar tissue forming where the tissue was cut either suturing or fillers or other tissue must be used.  Unfortunately, none of these really work very well the and recurrence rate is very high.  But it may be worth getting at least 50% correction.
