Flat or inverted nipples? (Photo)

Question

Are there simple surgeries to correct this? Also would i have to get it done seperate from the BA? Tia.

Anthony Deboni, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question.  Many times, just placement of an implant will cause the nipples to be a bit more prominent.  Alternatively, there are procedures to surgically evert the nipples.  This could be done at the same time as the augmentation, if desired.  Best of luck.

Hello, it is possible to repair inverted nipples at the same time as breast augmentation, although a few of my patients have found that the nipples look better after insertion of the implants alone.

Amira Sanki, MBBS Hons, FRACS, PhD · Answer

Many women with mild degrees of nipple inversion find that the appearance of their nipples improves after breast augmentation surgery. This is because the implant expands the size of the areola and places pressure against the ducts connecting into the nipple. I would recommend you have the breast augmentation surgery first, and consider corrective surgery on you nipples in the future if they don't improve.

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Correcting inverted nipples is a fairly simple procedure that can be done in an office OR under just local anesthesia.  It is not very painful but, as a result of the procedure that includes cutting the ducts, you will not likely be able to breastfeed.
