Procedure Details

Nipple eversion is a corrective procedure designed to improve the appearance of inverted or retracted nipples, creating a more natural and outward-projecting shape.

Nipple eversion is a minor surgical procedure used to correct inverted or retracted nipples by releasing the tissue that is pulling the nipple inwards. The technique is tailored to the degree of inversion and the patient’s anatomy, with the aim of creating a more naturally projected nipple while keeping scarring as discreet as possible. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic and, in many cases, patients can return to normal day-to-day activities relatively quickly.

Follow up

Wound/dressing review at 7-10 days; surgeon review at around 4-8 weeks.
