Do you inverted nipples get fixed during breast augmentation?

Dear Esmii thank you for your question.
Breast augmentation and inverted nipple correction can be done in a single setting. Usually breast implants are placed first and the nipples are corrected at the end of surgery.

I recommend getting a breast augmentation and then a nipple piercing 6 months later to help with the inverted nipples. This usually is rather consistently the solution.

Hi there, thanks for your question. Breast augmentation pushed everything outwards so you will likely find that your nipples are naturally corrected with augmentation. I would reccomened consulting with your surgeon to discuss how to best fix this. Thanks

Dear Esmii,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to get repair of inverted nipples at the same time as BA. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

providing that surgeon does not use perioral incision (around portion of areola), inverted nipples may be repaired in the same time with breast augmentation. In same cases, however, inverted nipples repair may need use of local flaps; plastic surgeon should be able to decide whether that can be compromised with breast augmentation. It is very unlikely that breast implants alone will fix inverted nipples. Hope this helps.

In certain cases, I have seen that breast implants can fix the inverted nipples. This is usually in very mild cases. These are cases where the nipple will protrude when erect or in cold climate. In the more severe cases where even with manual manipulation, the patient is unable to bring the nipple out, then it is very unlikely that breast augmentation surgery will fix the inversion.

In the severe cases, both procedure can be done at the same time, otherwise inverted nipple surgery can be done under local anesthesia in the office setting.

Hope that helps.

A breast augmentation will generally not fix this. An additional procedure can be done to correct this involving excising skin around the inverted nipple and by closing this the nipple is pushed out.

Yes inverted nipple correction can be performed at the time of breast augmentation.Inverted nipples are not usually a sign of a medical concern other than issues with breast feeding particularly if they have always been that way. A nipple that inverts over time should be investigated with imaging to ensure there are no growths or masses associated with prior to correction.You can also have the inverted nipple correction under local anaesthesia as a minor procedure separately from your breast augmentation procedure.
Best regards

Thank you for sharing your question. Nipple inversion can be treated at the same time as a breast augmentation and adds little time to the procedure. Talk to your surgeon about your options.

Hello !

Whether or not to have inverted nipples corrected is a personal decision and there is no right or wrong answer. If you feel that your inverted nipples are affecting your self-confidence or causing you discomfort, then it may be worth considering correction. However, if your inverted nipples are not causing you any problems or distress, then there may be no need to seek correction.

It's important to note that inverted nipples are not a medical condition and are a normal variation in nipple appearance. However, in rare cases, they can be a sign of an underlying condition such as breast cancer or a breast infection. If you have noticed a recent change in the appearance of your nipples or are experiencing pain, discharge, or inflammation, it is important to seek medical attention.

If you do decide to pursue correction, there are various methods available, including surgery or non-surgical options such as the use of a nipple suction device. It's important to consult with a plastic surgeon or a healthcare provider who specializes in nipple correction to discuss the available options, potential risks, and expected outcomes.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
