Inverted nipples are more common than you might think and can cause both cosmetic and functional problems.
In some people the nipples are drawn inwards instead of pointing outwards, which can cause insecurity or make breastfeeding difficult. Fortunately, a correction of inverted nipples can easily resolve this problem.
Some signs that may indicate you have nipple problems are:

Inverted nipples develop when the connective tissue bands under the nipple are shorter than normal, pulling the nipple inwards instead of letting it point outwards. This can occur in one or both nipples and varies in severity. In some cases the nipple can be pulled out temporarily, but it retracts again on its own. In more severe cases the nipple remains permanently inverted.
Inverted nipples can have a negative effect on self-confidence and overall body image. This can lead to insecurity when wearing certain clothing, such as tight tops or swimwear.
In addition, inverted nipples can cause functional problems, especially for women who want to breastfeed. Inverted nipples can make breastfeeding difficult or even impossible, because the baby has difficulty latching on to the nipple.
A correction of inverted nipples can be a good solution if you are bothered by:

Eyelid surgery
I am extremely satisfied with my eyelid surgery by David Jairath. Because I had already had eyelid surgery in the past, I had a good idea of what to expect. That is exactly why this experience stood out as so positive.
David Jairath is a very skilled and professional surgeon, but what really sets him apart for me is how approachable and involved he is. He takes plenty of time to explain everything clearly, listens carefully to your questions and is also easy to reach after the procedure. That gave me a lot of confidence and a sense of safety throughout the whole process.
The aftercare is also excellent. You notice that you as a patient really come first and that there is genuine attention to a good recovery. Questions are answered quickly and kindly, which is very reassuring.
I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend David Jairath to anyone considering eyelid surgery. A skilled surgeon with a pleasant, personal approach and excellent aftercare. I am very happy with my choice and the lovely result.

During the intake consultation with Mr David Jairath I already had a good feeling about it. He explained clearly what the procedure involved. After the intake I also received additional information by email. The procedure itself was very relaxed. He explained everything step by step during the procedure. Everything is done under local anaesthetic. We had a really nice conversation during the procedure and before you knew it the treatment was over. I received clear information on what to do after the procedure. After a week the stitches were removed. I am very satisfied with the final result.

The price of a correction of inverted nipples depends on your wishes and on what we discuss during the consultation. To always give you the right information, we keep all rates up to date in one central place. That way you can be sure you are seeing the most recent prices, including the first consultation.
On our rates page you will find the complete and current overview of all treatments.
The correction of inverted nipples is performed under local anaesthetic, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure there may be some mild pain or discomfort, but this is usually mild and disappears within a few days. Painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can help relieve this discomfort.
The area may be somewhat swollen or tender, but this usually disappears quickly. If the pain persists or increases, it is advisable to contact your plastic surgeon to rule out possible complications.
Recovery after the correction of inverted nipples is usually quick. The stitches are removed within one to two weeks, and most people can resume their daily activities within a few days, as long as they avoid pressure and friction on the treated area.
During recovery it is important to wear loose, breathable clothing and to avoid strenuous exertion, such as sport. Full recovery usually takes several weeks, but scars can continue to fade for several months. During the aftercare appointments, your plastic surgeon will check whether your recovery is going well.
In most cases, women can breastfeed without problems after the correction of inverted nipples. The procedure mainly focuses on releasing the connective tissue bands that pull the nipple inwards, without affecting the milk ducts. This makes it possible to breastfeed as normal after healing.
However, it is important to discuss this with your plastic surgeon if breastfeeding is an important consideration for you, so that it can be taken into account during the procedure. Sometimes, however, the extent to which breastfeeding is possible can vary depending on the complexity of the correction.
In most cases, an inverted nipple is not dangerous and is mainly a cosmetic or functional problem. Some people choose a correction to feel more comfortable or to be able to breastfeed. However, in rare cases an inverted nipple can be a symptom of an underlying condition, such as an infection, inflammation or even breast cancer, especially if the nipple suddenly becomes inverted.
If, in addition to an inverted nipple, you have other symptoms such as discharge, pain or a lump, it is important to seek medical help for further examination.
