Some men live with inverted nipples for years before realizing there is a simple surgical fix.Â
Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetics in Lone Tree helps men from Highlands Ranch, Denver, and the surrounding Colorado areas correct this concern. Our board-certified plastic surgeons use proven techniques to restore nipple projection and improve how your chest looks.Â
What Is Inverted Nipple Repair for Men?
An inverted nipple is one that points inward instead of outward. This happens when the nipple’s supporting tissue or milk ducts pull it back toward the chest.Â
While it is often harmless, many men dislike the way it looks and prefer a more natural projection. Inverted nipple repair is a surgical procedure that restores the nipple to a forward-facing position.Â
What to Expect During Male Inverted Nipple Surgery
Your experience begins with a complimentary cosmetic consultation where you will sit down with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. You will have the chance to share your concerns and goals while your surgeon examines the degree of inversion and explains the treatment options in detail.
If your case is mild, correction often involves releasing the tight tissue beneath the nipple. For more severe inversion, your surgeon may use additional techniques to secure the nipple in a forward position. In either case, the procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, so you can plan to go home the same day.
Recovery Timeline for Inverted Nipple Correction
Recovery is generally smooth. Expect some swelling and mild soreness for the first few days. Stitches, if placed, are usually removed within a week or two, or may dissolve on their own depending on the technique used. Most men return to work within a few days and can resume exercise within a couple of weeks.Â
Scarring is minimal and typically well hidden at the edge of the nipple. Many patients also retain sensation in the nipple, though this may vary based on the degree of inversion and the surgical method used.
Who Is a Candidate for Inverted Nipple Repair vs. Gynecomastia Surgery?
Men with nipples that pull inward rather than projecting outward are often good candidates for this procedure. It does not matter what body type you have, as the condition can affect men of all shapes and sizes.Â
It’s important to distinguish between inverted nipples and gynecomastia, which involves excess breast tissue or gland enlargement. Some men may benefit from both procedures, particularly if they have a combination of tissue overgrowth and nipple inversion. Your surgeon will guide you on the right treatment plan.
