Inverted/Retracted Nipple
Inverted or retracted nipples are a common concern that can affect confidence, comfort, and even breastfeeding in some cases. Fortunately, this condition can be effectively corrected through a delicate, minimally invasive surgical procedure.
At our New York offices in Manhattan and Great Neck, Dr. Thomas Loeb, a board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in natural-looking nipple correction that restores outward projection and balanced appearance while preserving sensitivity and function.
Whether the concern is congenital or developed after breastfeeding, trauma, or previous surgery, Dr. Loeb’s precise technique allows for a subtle, lasting improvement that enhances both aesthetics and comfort.

Through careful internal adjustment of the fibrous or ductal tissue that causes nipple retraction, Dr. Loeb ensures the nipple maintains proper projection and proportion in harmony with the breast’s shape.

What to Expect When You Choose Dr. Loeb
Every patient’s situation is unique—some have mild inversion easily corrected under local anesthesia, while others require a more advanced surgical approach. During your consultation, Dr. Loeb carefully evaluates the degree of inversion, underlying causes, and whether the patient plans future breastfeeding to determine the most appropriate method.
Common Causes of Inverted or Reversed Nipples:
- Congenital or developmental conditions
- Shortened milk ducts or fibrous bands beneath the nipple
- Scarring after surgery, injury, or infection
- Aging or breast tissue changes after pregnancy or weight fluctuation
What to Expect During and After Surgery
Inverted nipple correction is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30–60 minutes per nipple. The procedure involves releasing the internal tissue that causes inversion and reshaping the nipple for proper projection.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day or the next. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur but resolves quickly. Stitches are usually removed within a week, and scars fade discreetly over time. Dr. Loeb’s meticulous technique minimizes trauma to ducts whenever possible, preserving sensation and function.
