Inverted nipples are a common problem. Generally, this condition occurs when the nipple does not project
forward normally because the ducts leading to the nipple are overly tight. This causes the nipple to be pulled back into
the surrounding areola. In severe cases, there can be a depression at the center of the areola.
In rare cases, inverted nipples can also happen in men.
Breast Appearance
Like most people with breast appearance issues, your confidence can revolve around the look of your breasts or chest area. As nipples are an essential feature, if they are inverted, asymmetrical, misshapen or disproportionately small, it can often throw off the entire look of your upper body. Being self-conscious about the way your nipples appear, breast plastic surgery correction is available.
Enlarged Nipple Revision
We understand that discomfort and embarrassment can result from large nipple height. Nipple revision surgery is a safe surgical procedure that corrects your nipple shape and size to improve your breast appearance. This surgery involves a horizontal incision to the outer portion of the non-erect nipple to remove the unwanted nipple height. It can reduce the height of your nipples to make them smaller and look less prominent.
Enlarged or Puffy Areolas
When you look at your breasts/ chest the pigmented area around your nipple is called the areola. This area can become puffy or wider with age, weight gain, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy and breast feeding. In some cases, if the areola becomes asymmetrical in size and shape, this can make the breasts look lopsided. If you have excessive widening of the areola, this condition can be corrected with a reduction procedure, to make the areolas the same size. This simple procedure basically uses a “cookie cutter” approach to make a circle around the nipple of the desired size, and then removes the excess skin. You will have a circular scar around the perimeter of your new areolas, that usually heals well.
Inverted nipples can point inward or lie flat, rather than pointing out. This condition also called retracted nipples. It can happen in one breast or both. You may have been born this way. But if it starts to happen later in life, it could be a sign of a medical problem that needs to be checked by Dr. Lynch.
Inverted nipple correction surgery involves modifying the milk ducts and their surrounding fibers which are tethering the nipple in place and pulling it inward.
Cosmetic nipple or areola surgery is a term to describe any surgical technique that changes the appearance of the nipple and areola. With all cosmetic breast procedures Dr. Sheilah A. Lynch always tries to preserve the nerves, blood vessels, and (female) milk ducts so that sensation and the ability to breastfeed are maintained.
Asymmetric Nipples / Areolas
Have you ever heard the statement “breasts are like sisters but they are not twins? We also think it would be awesome if at least breasts looked like they are from the same family!!
Most people have some type of breast asymmetry. Asymmetry of the nipples usually is more noticeable and can create embarrassment. The options to correct this condition will depend on each patient’s case. Usually, the core nipple tissue must be reshaped to improve its contour and symmetry.
The surgical procedures used to correct nipple / areola asymmetry typically need to be combined with the other following surgical options such as a breast lift, reduction or augmentation – these often also involve correction of the position of the nipple and areola in combination.
During your initial consultation, you will meet with Dr. Sheilah A. Lynch to discuss your concerns and desired results. During your exam, we will take photographs to help with the planning and performing of your upcoming surgery. After your exam, you’ll receive important instructions to prepare for your procedure, a quote, and an explanation of the results you can expect to achieve.
Inverted nipple correction surgery is typically performed as an in-office procedure under local anesthesia and involves modifying the milk ducts and their surrounding fibers which are tethering the nipple in place and pulling it inward. Dr. Lynch offers nipple augmentation to both men & women looking to create a more aesthetically natural appearance to their breasts / chest.

There are other nipple correction surgeries that we offer such as enlarged nipple revision (which involves a horizontal incision to the outer portion of the non-erect nipple to remove the unwanted nipple height. It can reduce the height of your nipples to make them smaller and look less prominent) and enlarged or puffy areolas (which uses a “cookie cutter” approach to make a circle around the nipple of the desired size, and then removes the excess skin).
The recovery for this procedure is minimal and will require a follow-up appointment in-office. Dr. Lynch may suggest nipple piercing to reduce the risk of reoccurrence.
Your stiches (sutures) are removed within 7 to 12 days after surgery.
