Inverted nipple surgery is a cosmetic procedure that corrects inverted or retracted nipples by altering the underlying breast tissue. The surgeon makes an incision around the edge of the areola, then frees the nipple and reshapes it to project outward. Sometimes a skin graft is required. The treatment improves nipple appearance and may enhance overall breast contour.

Inverted nipple surgery corrects the inward rolling of nipples for cosmetic reasons. It's performed under local anesthesia or sedation, with a small incision made around the edge of the areola to correct the position of the nipple.
