Can nipple herniation be fixed?

Question

I've seen before and afters where nipple herniations are still pronounced, and some not. I have a herniated nipple and am wondering if it's something I should ask in my consultation. Is it something that can be fixed?

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Yes, you should ask anything of concern, especially when it comes to your specific anatomy and goals, during the consultation process.  Ultimately, careful selection of plastic surgeon and communication goals are 2 of the keys to success when it comes to  successful breast surgery.  Best wishes.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  Nipple herniation can be corrected, but usually requires surgery.  The first step is to diagnose the cause of the herniation to help guide treatment.  Without a full series of photographs it is difficult to offer definite advice and I would voice this concern in your consultation.  Hope this helps.
