Inverted Nipple Surgery in New York City
An inverted nipple is a condition in which the nipple of one breast or both breasts lies flat or points inward instead of pointing out. This can cause many men and women to feel self-conscious about their appearance.
Additionally, while many women with inverted nipples can still breastfeed their infant, there are some cases in which nipple inversion affects the baby’s ability to latch correctly, causing trouble with feeding.
Some men and women are born with inverted nipples, while others may have this condition develop as they age. However, whether the nipple has always been inverted or it has occurred over time, inverted nipple surgery can help correct this issue.
Inverted nipple surgery is a procedure that can correct male and female inverted nipples and restore a more natural and aesthetic look that boosts confidence and self-esteem.

How Is Inverted Nipple Surgery Done?
After you are given local anesthesia, your cosmetic surgeon will make a tiny incision in the underside of your nipple and release any tension in the underlying tissue. Dissolving sutures are then used to close the incision. The entire procedure usually takes less than one hour to complete.
Can I Combine My Inverted Nipple Surgery With Other Procedures?
Yes. Inverted nipple surgery can be combined with other procedures. One of the benefits of combining procedures is less overall recovery time, since you will be recovering from the different procedures simultaneously.
Some procedures often combined with inverted nipple surgery include:
What Are Your Concerns?
What Will Recovery Be Like for My Inverted Nipple Surgery?
It may take up to six weeks for full sensation to be restored after your inverted nipple surgery; however, you should be able to return to work the day after your surgery. You will have tenderness, swelling, and bruising in the area after your surgery, but this should dissipate over the next few days.
You should also refrain from any vigorous activity during the week after your surgery. Additionally, you may need to wear a padded bra or tight-fitting top during the first two weeks of your recovery.
Is Inverted Nipple Surgery Painful?
Local anesthesia will be used during the surgery, so you should not feel any pain. However, you will have some swelling, tenderness, and bruising after the procedure. Pain medication can be taken to lessen any discomfort in the days after your procedure.
Will My Surgery Leave Scars?
Inverted nipple surgery does require incisions, which means scarring; however, scars for this procedure tend to not be noticeable because of the short length of the incision as well as the placement of the incision in the undersurface of the nipple.
What Does Inverted Nipple Surgery Cost in New York?
At New Look New Life, inverted nipple surgery starts as low as $2,500, which includes your surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, facility and operating room fees, required garments, and all your follow-up visits.
