Before and after bilateral inverted nipple correction in a 25 year old woman. She had always felt self-conscious about her flat nipples. She wanted them to look normal at rest and to become more erect when touched.

A conservative approach was planned to preserve the best possible chance for breastfeeding in the future. The third and fourth set of images show the repair immediately after completion, which was an office procedure performed under local anesthesia. As you can see, the nipples are brought out and protrude significantly during the first several weeks of healing. As the swelling subsides, the nipples assume less protuberance and relax, becoming more erect with touch or cold, as is normal for nipples.

Follow up photos are shown three months after surgery. She is very pleased with her results and satisfied with her decision to have this procedure.
