How long after breast lift can inverted nipples be corrected?

HI-Thank you for your question. Correction of inverted nipples at the same time of revision surgery can be a complex decision. As with any revision surgery, the blood supply to the nipple and areola can be decreased. This would be further decreased by performing the correction of the inverted nipple at the same time of the revision surgery. For a simple revision, I perform the correction of the inverted nipple at the same time. For complex revisions, I usually wait 6-12 weeks after surgery to make sure there are no healing complications. Just make sure when you decide to undergo your surgery, you see a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options regarding intervention and timeline of nipple correction. Best of luck!

I would consider correcting an inverted nipple at about a year after a breast lift.this surely depends on how the lift was done and how cconfident the plastic surgeon is about good blood flow. A second opinion might be a good idea.

Generally speaking, if your recovery goes well you should be able to undergo another procedure about 6 months after your lift. However, surgeons may have differing opinions on this so it would be best to ask your surgeon directly.
