25, no children; is now the right time for inverted nipple repair?

fs527
Most women on my mom's side of the family have inverted nipples, and I had the misfortune of inheriting them as well. I would like mine corrected. My mother advised me not to when I was younger because of breastfeeding, but I'm 25 years old and about 98% sure I don't want children anyway. Is it true that I definitely won't be able to breastfeed if I have the surgery? Should I wait a couple more years to be sure, or just do it now?
