There are many different techniques to repair inverted nipples. I use an endoscopic assisted release of the fibrous tissue and dermal grafting for the most severe types. I think this gives the best chane to preserve sensation and the ability to breast feed. Take your time choosing your surgeon.

There are different degrees of inverted nipples. Successful treatment depends on the severity. I'm not really aware of anything you can do at home that will really correct them. I have seen patients who have even tried piercings, which also don't really work well.

It looks like your nipples are projecting in the photos so I would say you have mild retraction at most. Without examining you it is difficult to be certain. The only way to know for sure is to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to be examined and  see what...

Thank you for your question.  Inverted nipples is common, and can be corrected with a small procedure.  See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination to correctly diagnose what is taking place.

Inverted nipple correction is an elective procedure.  It is not a procedure essential to your health but if the appearance of you nipple concerns you, you can chose to have a minor procedure to get the inversion corrected.

If your annual mammograms have been normal, then an inverted nipple repair can address your inverted nipple. Seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Best wishes.
