Inverted Nipple Correction in Anaheim Hills, CA

For many, inverted nipples can cause feelings of self-consciousness or discomfort. This condition occurs when the nipple is pulled inward rather than pointing outward, which may be due to factors like genetics, scarring, or tight connective tissues. Inverted nipple correction is a specialized procedure at Motakef Plastic Surgery + Med Spa designed to reshape the nipple and improve its outward appearance, often restoring confidence and comfort. Plastic surgeon Dr. Saba Motakef performs this minimally invasive procedure to address mild, moderate, or severe nipple inversion. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Motakef and his dedicated team in Anaheim Hills, CA to discuss surgical techniques for nipple repair.

Many patients feel a renewed sense of confidence after addressing this intimate concern. Inverted nipple correction can improve both physical appearance and emotional well-being and provides the following benefits:

• Enhanced nipple projection for a more natural appearance
• Improved symmetry and aesthetics of the breasts
• Increased confidence in intimate or social settings
• Easier breastfeeding for those with functional challenges due to nipple inversion
• Minimal scarring and quick recovery time

The first step for this minimally invasive procedure is an evaluation to determine the degree of inversion. For mild cases, a simple incision may be all that's required. In more moderate to severe cases, additional techniques, such as reinforcing the nipple structure with internal sutures, are used to provide long-lasting results. The entire procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on your preferences and needs. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, though it's important to follow post-surgery care instructions to ensure proper healing. The approach is highly customized, ensuring natural-looking results that align with your goals.

Will the results of inverted nipple correction look natural?
Yes, the goal of this procedure is to provide natural-looking results while improving the nipple's projection. Our surgical team uses techniques that carefully reshape and secure the nipple without making it appear artificial or altered. You can discuss your expectations before the surgery, so our team understands your aesthetic preferences. Photos of previous patient results can also give you an idea of what to expect.

Can I breastfeed after having my inverted nipples corrected?
This largely depends on the technique used during the correction and the severity of the inversion. For mild to moderate cases, surgeons often preserve the milk ducts, allowing breastfeeding to remain possible. If the correction involves severing the ducts to achieve proper projection, breastfeeding might not be an option. It's essential to discuss your breastfeeding plans with your surgeon during the consultation to tailor the procedure to your needs.

How soon will I notice a difference in my nipple appearance?
The results of inverted nipple correction are usually noticeable immediately after the procedure. However, keep in mind that there will be some swelling, redness, or minor bruising, which may temporarily obscure the final appearance. As your body heals over the weeks following surgery, the nipple's shape and projection become more refined. Most people see their full results within a month or two.
