Wondering if inverted nipple surgery would work for me or I have also heard of piercing the nipple?

Question

I have inverted nipples. I am 18 years old and currently in college. Im curious if inverted nipple surgury would work for me and also if my dads insurance company would cover it (considering im a broke college student). I live in Toronto, ON. I'm curious of the steps I would have to go through to get a consultation with a doctor that specializes in this?

Hi. Inverted
nipple repair is a simple office or day surgery procedure, and you will be able to return
to work within a few days. There is more information on the link below. You need to check with your father's insurance directly as to whether you are covered. The best thing to do is consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area about the surgery. Regards Dr Charles Cope

Vincent D. Lepore, MD (retired) · Answer

As Dr Cope has said, the surgery to correct inverted nipples is a simple, outpatient procedure.  It is commonly performed under local anesthesia.  In many cases insurance companies will help cover the cost of the procedure.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.  However, be aware that nipple piercing will not correct inverted nipples and could result in an infection which could worsen the inversion.  Best wishes.
