For many women, having inverted nipples can be distressing. Lying flat against the breast or actually pulling in from the breast surface, they can be a source of self-consciousness and breastfeeding problems.

Inversion of the nipple is caused by a short milk duct system running from the chest wall to the nipple. Thanks to various techniques in plastic surgery, however, women with inverted nipples no longer have to live with this condition; in fact, they have a choice of two types of procedures. Regardless of procedure chosen, inverted nipple repair can restore the nipple to a beautiful and natural, projecting appearance.
