MALE INERTED NIPPLE SURGERY
IN NEW YORK CITY

New Look New Life is dedicated to providing safe, handsome, and natural-looking results through customized cosmetic procedures. Dr. Claudia Kim will ensure you receive the focused attention you and your surgery deserve, and she is available to help answer any questions you might have throughout your surgical journey. From your pre-op consultation to your post-op appointments, you will always have direct access to your surgeon.

After your surgery, your nipple(s) will no longer be inverted or sit flat against the areola. Instead, they will point outward. This will give your chest a much more natural, masculine aesthetic, which creates a significant boost in confidence. You will no longer feel self-conscious taking your shirt off at the beach, in the locker room, or with your partner.

Candidates for inverted nipple surgery are men who have one or both nipples inverted and are bothered by their appearance. Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations for their results.

If you think you may be a candidate for inverted nipple surgery, contact New Look New Life by calling (212)-830-6830 or booking your consultation online.

During your consultation, you will meet privately with Dr. Claudia Kim to discuss your goals for the procedure as well as any concerns you might have. Additionally, she will:

• Evaluate the condition of your nipples

• Take photos

• Explain the surgical procedure

• Give any pre- and post-operative instructions

• Recommend any combination procedures to enhance your chest contour

After you are given local anesthesia to numb the area, Dr. Claudia Kim will make a tiny, discreet incision at the base of your nipple and carefully release the tension in the underlying tissue bands that are pulling the nipple inward. Dissolving sutures are then used to close the incision and hold the nipple in its new, projecting position. The entire procedure usually takes less than one hour to complete.

Yes. In fact, inverted nipple surgery is frequently combined with other male chest contouring procedures. One of the primary benefits of combining procedures is having less overall recovery time. Some procedures often combined with inverted nipple surgery include:

• Gynecomastia Surgery: To reduce enlarged male breast tissue or excess fat.

• Pec Implants: To add masculine volume and definition to a flat chest.
  

It may take up to six weeks for full sensation to be completely restored after your surgery; however, you should be able to return to work the very next day. You will have mild tenderness, swelling, and bruising in the area, but this should dissipate over the following few days. You should refrain from vigorous chest exercises (like bench pressing or push-ups) during the week after your surgery. You may also be advised to wear a snug-fitting undershirt or avoid tight, abrasive clothing to protect the sensitive nipples as they heal.

Local anesthesia will be used during the surgery, so you will not feel any pain. You will have some swelling, tenderness, and bruising after the procedure, but over-the-counter pain medication is typically more than enough to lessen any discomfort in the days following.

Inverted nipple surgery does require a tiny incision, which means a small scar is inevitable. However, scars for this procedure tend to be virtually unnoticeable because of the short length of the incision and its strategic placement hidden at the base of the nipple.

At New Look New Life, inverted nipple surgery starts as low as $3,000, which includes your surgeon's fee, anesthesia, facility and operating room fees, and all your follow-up visits. Because the exact price can vary based on whether you are correcting one or both nipples, you will be given a detailed quote at your consultation. Visit our Pricing page to learn more.

It is advised that you refrain from smoking for a month before and after your surgery to help speed up your recovery and ensure the tissue heals properly. You should also pause any blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or ibuprofen) for two weeks prior.

Local anesthesia (numbing injections) is typically used for inverted nipple surgery, allowing you to remain awake and comfortable. However, general anesthesia may be used if your surgery is combined with more extensive procedures, like Gynecomastia surgery.

Most inverted nipple surgeries take less than one hour to perform in our office.

Inverted nipple surgery is an incredibly safe procedure with minimal side effects beyond temporary swelling and sensitivity. However, as with all surgeries, there are rare risks, including infection, bleeding, poor scarring, or potential changes to nipple sensation.

You will see that your nipples are no longer inverted immediately after the procedure! However, it usually takes two to three weeks for residual swelling to subside and for your final, natural-looking results to become fully evident.

Absolutely. We believe that feeling completely comfortable in your own skin should be accessible. We offer flexible medical financing options through trusted partners like CareCredit®, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi. You can review our Pricing & Financing information to learn how to break your procedure down into manageable monthly payments.

Yes! If you are having your inverted nipple surgery performed as a standalone procedure under local anesthesia, you will be fully alert and able to drive yourself home immediately afterward. If you are combining your surgery with another procedure that requires general anesthesia, you will need a friend or family member to drive you.

Because inverted nipple correction is a fast, straightforward outpatient procedure, we can often accommodate your timeline quickly—sometimes even performing the procedure on the same day as your consultation!
