Nipple correction may be required due to post-lactation issues or congenital/acquired inverted nipples (retraction of the nipple below the level of the dermis). This is a safe and effective procedure that can help the over 20% of women and men affected by this condition, which often negatively impacts their self-image.

Surgical nipple reconstruction techniques and scar location

To correct an inverted nipple, a small incision is made at the base of the nipple. This approach frees the inverted tissue and secures the nipple in its new position using a percutaneous suture.
 In some cases, and as an alternative, fat injection may be recommended to prevent duct retraction and reduce the risk of recurrence.

The resulting scar is located at the base of the nipple and is typically nearly imperceptible.
