Causes of Inverted Nipples
Inverted nipples (or retracted nipples) is a condition where the nipple is pulled inward into the breast tissue, making it invisible or only partially visible. In a normal adult, the nipple has a diameter of approximately 1 cm and an average height of about 0.7 cm.
There are numerous causes leading to this condition:
- Postpartum women, following improper breastfeeding techniques
- Shortened milk ducts or the pulling action during breastfeeding that causes nipple retraction.
- Previous surgical procedures resulting in scar tissue that may pull the nipple inward
- The aging process, which causes sagging breast skin, loss of elasticity, and constriction of milk ducts
Although small in size, nipples play a crucial role in intimacy and maternal breastfeeding. Therefore, inverted nipples are a source of insecurity and distress for many women.

How to correct inverted nipples? For mild cases, you can gently massage, press, and draw the nipple outward manually on a regular basis. For severe or fully retracted cases, surgical intervention is required.
Inverted Nipple Correction Surgery
With modern aesthetic technology, inverted nipple correction surgery is performed swiftly, effectively, and safely.
Surgeons utilize specialized dissection instruments to meticulously create a tiny incision. Through this approach, the surgeon reshapes the nipple to be naturally aesthetic, balanced, and harmonious with the breast contour.
Notably, supported by advanced medical equipment, the procedure minimizes invasiveness and promotes rapid healing. Correcting inverted nipples is performed quickly, taking only about 30 minutes.

While inverted nipple correction is a relatively straightforward procedure, it must be performed strictly following clinical protocols to ensure efficacy, safety, and complication prevention.
Procedure for Inverted Nipple Correction Surgery
Step 1: Consultation and Examination
Clients receive direct clinical evaluation and consultation from breast aesthetic specialists. The surgeon evaluates the degree of nipple inversion and indicates the appropriate surgical approach, addressing all patient inquiries.
JW Hospital brings together leading breast aesthetic specialists. Prescribing the correct indication for each individual ensures maximum aesthetic safety.
Step 2: Preoperative Health Screening
Good overall health is a vital prerequisite for surgical safety, quick healing, and scar prevention. Clients undergo a comprehensive health assessment, including chest X-rays, blood tests, urinalysis, and related diagnostics.
Undergoing inverted nipple correction surgery at JW Hospital includes complimentary pre-op health evaluations. Equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic machinery imported directly from South Korea, Germany, and the USA, examinations are swift and precise.
Step 3: Surgical Correction of Inverted Nipples
Following surgical marking, antiseptic preparation, and local anesthesia, the surgeon releases the fibrous bands causing the retraction and projects the nipple outward.
Using specialized microsurgical tools, the surgeon creates a discreet micro-incision to release tethering ducts and reshape the nipple to a balanced, aesthetically pleasing projection. To conclude, delicate aesthetic sutures are placed, and a protective shield/splint is applied to secure and protect the nipple position.
Advanced specialized equipment allows surgeons to perform dissections rapidly, accurately, and effectively, shortening procedure duration to approximately 30 minutes.
Step 4: Recovery and Aftercare
Diligent wound care and hygiene post-surgery are essential for swift healing and preventing complications. Follow all post-operative instructions provided by your doctor:
- Take prescribed medications and attend follow-up appointments as directed.
- Avoid tight or rigid bras that apply friction or pressure to the nipples.
- Maintain proper wound hygiene and cleanliness.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity or heavy lifting post-surgery.
- Never remove the protective splint/shield without clinical instructions.
- Refrain from foods known to exacerbate swelling or inflammation: sticky rice, chicken, eggs, water spinach, etc.
- Avoid stimulants such as alcohol, beer, and tobacco.
Contact the clinic immediately if any unusual signs arise.
