What Is Nipple Repair?
Although pregnancy and nursing are very rewarding, they can significantly alter the shape of the breasts and nipples. Genetics can also be responsible for the bust's size, shape, and projection. Patients usually seek help in correcting inverted nipples or enlarged or elongated nipples. The team of plastic surgeons at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery is pleased to offer nipple repair for patients who are unhappy with the look of their breasts. Call our Pensacola, FL office today to learn how nipple repair surgery can benefit you and give you the alluring shape you desire.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
Nipple inversion surgery is a simple procedure that can be performed in the office without the need for general anesthesia. Your surgeon will use a long-acting numbing agent to ease any discomfort. A retraction suture is then used to pull the nipple out to its full length. A tiny incision is placed at the inferior side of the nipple. The thick retracted milk ducts are cut one at a time with great care to avoid cutting all the ducts if it is not necessary. The incision is then closed and dressed. Nipple inversion surgery usually takes less than one hour.
Enlarged, elongated, or protruding nipples are common after breastfeeding. Removing some of the excess nipple tissue addresses this concern. This can typically be done in the office using local anesthesia and usually takes less than an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have a scar after nipple repair surgery?
Nipple repair surgery involves a small incision, typically placed on the underside of the nipple to minimize visibility. Over time, the scar generally fades and becomes less noticeable. Our team at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery will discuss scar care and provide recommendations to ensure the best healing possible.
Is nipple repair surgery painful?
Nipple inversion surgery is performed with an anesthetic to ensure minimal discomfort during the procedure. After surgery, some mild soreness or sensitivity in the area is normal but typically resolves within a few days. Our staff in Pensacola, FL, may recommend over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
How long do the results of nipple repair surgery last?
The results of nipple repair surgery are typically long-lasting. However, factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, or future breastfeeding may impact the appearance of the nipple over time. We can provide comprehensive guidance to help maintain your results for as long as possible.
