What are the chances nipples will revert back to inverted after inverted nipple correction surgery?

Asked By:vanillabeaner1 in Austin, TX

I've had inverted nipples all my life and would really like to have the surgery done to get it corrected. I saw a cosmetic surgeon for a consultation and was disappointed to find out that the nipple almost always reverts back to inverted sometimes years, months, sometimes weeks after surgery. I had been looking forward to doing this since I was a girl and to hear this completely broke my heart. What are the chances this will happen? Is it highly likely?
