Inverted Nipple Repair in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Inverted Nipple Repair?

Inverted nipple repair is a surgical procedure designed to correct inverted or retracted nipples, which occur when the nipple pulls inward rather than protruding outward. This condition can be congenital (present from birth) or develop later in life due to factors such as breastfeeding or hormonal changes.

At Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, our experienced surgeons offer inverted nipple repair surgeries tailored to restore a more natural and symmetrical appearance, boosting both aesthetics and confidence.

Who is a Good Candidate for Inverted Nipple Repair?

You may be a good candidate for inverted nipple repair if you:
✔ Have inverted or retracted nipples that cause aesthetic concern
✔ Experience discomfort or difficulty with breastfeeding
✔ Desire to restore natural nipple projection
✔ Are in good health and have realistic expectations for your results

A consultation at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic will help determine if this procedure is suitable for you.

How is Inverted Nipple Repair Performed?

Inverted nipple repair is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences.

1. Surgical Approach

• A small incision is made around the areola to release the tissue causing the nipple to retract.
• The nipple is repositioned to a more natural, outward projection.
• The surrounding tissue is carefully sutured to maintain the new shape and prevent future retraction.

2. Recovery & Aftercare

• The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes and has a quick recovery time.
• Swelling and bruising may occur but typically resolve within a few days.

Recovery & Aftercare

Following inverted nipple repair surgery, the recovery process is generally swift:

Recovery Timeline:

• Swelling & Bruising: Mild, lasting 1–2 weeks
• Return to Work/Daily Activities: Most patients can return to their normal routine within 1–2 weeks
• Final Results: Visible in 3–6 months once the area fully heals

Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor progress and ensure optimal healing.
