About Inverted Nipple Repair

Inverted nipple repair is a specialized procedure designed to address inverted or retracted nipples, a condition where the nipple is pulled inward instead of protruding outward. This common concern can affect both aesthetic appearance and physical comfort. Our founder, Dr. James D. Goggin, offers expert care and helps patients rediscover their confidence with this in-office procedure.

Correcting Inverted Nipples

Inverted nipple repair involves a surgical procedure to correct the inversion of the nipple, allowing it to protrude naturally. This procedure can be performed on one or both nipples.

The Inverted Nipple Repair Procedure

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, sparing you any pain while Dr. Goggin works. The technique used to repair inverted nipples may vary based on the severity of the inversion and your individual anatomy:

  • Incision and Correction: Dr. Goggin will make small, precise incisions to access the underlying structures of the nipple. The fibrous septae and ducts causing the inversion will be adjusted to allow the nipple to protrude naturally.
  • Repositioning: The nipple will be carefully repositioned to achieve the desired projection

Recovery

Recovery from inverted nipple repair is generally quick, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Dr. Goggin will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to support your healing process.

  • Care Instructions: Follow guidelines for wound care, including keeping the area clean and dry. In some cases, a small traction device may be placed on the nipple for 1 week to support the new position and ensure long-term results.
  • Avoid Straining: Refrain from engaging in strenuous activities that could impact the healing process.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Attend scheduled follow-up visits to monitor progress and ensure that the nipples are healing correctly.

Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days, though complete healing may take a few weeks. Dr. Goggin and the Westside team will be available to address any concerns or questions you may have throughout your recovery. You’re part of the family now, and we’re here for you.
