It’s common for nipples to turn inward instead of outward, and for many people, it can feel frustrating or even embarrassing. You might have been born with inverted nipples, or noticed the change gradually after breastfeeding or surgery. While it isn’t harmful, it can make cleaning the area difficult, cause irritation, or make you feel self-conscious.
At Beverly Friedlander MD, this treatment is part of the in-office surgical procedures available in Short Hills, New Jersey. Dr. Bev understands how personal this concern can be and offers a simple way to help you feel more at ease with your body.
What Is Nipple Inversion Correction?
Nipple inversion correction releases the tissue bands or ducts that pull the nipple inward, allowing it to project naturally again. The procedure is performed in Dr. Bev’s office under local anesthesia and typically takes less than an hour.
During treatment, she carefully separates the fibrous tissue responsible for the inversion. Fine sutures are placed beneath the surface to maintain the nipple’s new position while it heals. The process is gentle, efficient, and customized to each patient’s anatomy.
Why Patients Choose This Treatment
For many people, correcting nipple inversion is a small adjustment that can make a meaningful difference in how they feel day to day. Benefits may include:
- Outward projection and improved nipple shape
- Relief from irritation or tension caused by inversion
- Easier hygiene and maintenance
- Improved symmetry between both sides
- Greater comfort in clothing and swimwear
Some patients also choose to combine inversion correction with nipple reduction or scar revision for more complete results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for nipple inversion correction if you:
- Have one or both nipples that pull inward
- Find it uncomfortable or difficult to keep the area clean
- Want an in-office procedure with minimal recovery time
- Are in good overall health
Dr. Bev may suggest postponing treatment if you plan to breastfeed in the future, since releasing the ducts can affect milk flow. She takes time to review your goals, discuss expectations, and recommend the safest, most effective approach for you.
Recovery and Results
Recovery is typically straightforward. You can return to most activities within a day, with only mild tenderness or swelling that improves quickly. A small dressing protects the area for about one week to support healing.
Dr. Bev provides clear aftercare instructions so you know exactly what to expect during recovery. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in projection, and the area continues to refine over the following weeks.
