Dr. Reddy, specializing in breast surgery, has extensive experience helping patients with inverted nipple repair and can discuss whether this procedure aligns with your goals.
What are Inverted Nipples?
Inverted nipples occur when the nipples are retracted into the breast tissue instead of pointing outward.
This can affect both the appearance of your breasts and your day‑to‑day function, such as breastfeeding or how clothing fits. Some people pursue correction to address cosmetic concerns, functional challenges, or both.
Benefits and Expected Outcomes of Inverted Nipple Repair
People choose inverted nipple repair to address concerns related to appearance and function. The procedure may help with:
- Improved aesthetic appearance of the breasts
- Enhanced self‑esteem and confidence
- Potential improvement in breastfeeding ability
Some of our patients experience improved breastfeeding ability after correction, but outcomes vary and depend on the factors discussed during your consultation.
Following surgery, you can expect correction of the nipple inversion, minimal scarring, a quick recovery, and outcomes that many patients find satisfying.
Recovery and Post‑Surgery Expectations
Dr. Reddy prioritizes patient comfort and well‑being throughout the recovery process. You can expect a relatively quick recovery, minimal downtime, and a gradual return to your usual routine.
While some swelling and bruising are common after surgery, they typically subside within a few weeks. Dr. Reddy will provide personalized post‑operative care instructions and follow‑up appointments to support your healing.
Most people experience a relatively quick return to normal activities, but Dr. Reddy will discuss what that means for you based on your individual plan.
What to Expect from the Procedure
At your consultation, Dr. Reddy will evaluate the severity of the nipple inversion, review your medical history, and discuss your goals to determine if inverted nipple repair is right for you. She will also explore non‑surgical options if applicable.
This procedure can be performed as an add‑on in the operating room or under local anesthetic while awake in the clinic procedure room, depending on your situation and preferences.
