Nipple Reconstruction Surgery & Inverted Nipple Correction
Restoring confidence…
Has your self-confidence been affected by inverted nipples? Maybe you are looking for nipple reconstruction following mastectomy. Nipple surgery is a simple solution that can make you feel good – both inside and out.
Nipple reconstruction can be carried out in the minor operations room in our Outpatient department, under a local anaesthetic. For some women, inverted nipples can be cause for embarrassment. They can be easily treated with a small incision, also under a local anaesthetic.
How long will it take?
Both procedures take around 30-60 minutes for both nipples.
What can I expect?
Dressings are applied to the area stay on for 1-2 weeks but reviewed after 1 week.
Minimal discomfort may be experienced which can be easily controlled with painkillers of your choice.
Bathing/showering is allowed so long as care is taken not to get the dressings wet.
Sun block should be worn for 18-24 months over the affected area as although clothing will be worn, sun can still burn through the clothing.
