Nipple Repair
Inverted and enlarged nipples are a surprisingly common occurence in both women and men. An inverted nipple is a nipple that instead of pointing outward, is retracted into the breast. In some cases, the nipple will be temporarily protruded if stimulated, but in others, the inversion remains regardless of stimulus. These inverted nipples can interfere with breastfeeding and can also be a source of persistent infection and emotional distress. A nipple repair procedure can correct this issue, providing you with permanent results.

Is this procedure for me?
There are different nipple repair techniques for the correction of inverted nipples, depending on the severity of the condition. Our Gold Coast based plastic surgeon, Dr Dilip Gahankari will assess your case during the initial consultation and will choose the correct nipple repair technique to suit your needs and the degree of inversion. Generally speaking, nipple surgery is performed as a day surgery procedure under local anesthetic, allowing you to return home on the same day, after your surgery. The procedure is minimally invasive and should not result in much discomfort or pain, compared to more invasive procedures.
