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-pointing position of the nipples. US surgeons use various techniques, including implant removal or tissue manipulation, to improve nipple projection.
Commonly done as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, but can also be performed with general anesthesia. Recovery time is around 1-2 weeks.
