Many people are affected by inverted nipples - where the nipple points inwards instead of out - but many are unaware that a straightforward procedure performed under local anaesthetic can make a significant improvement to the appearance of the nipple.

Both men and women can be affected by inverted nipples and up to 20 percent of those with the condition are born with it. Some can experience just the one inverted nipple, for some, both nipples are permanently inverted, and for others, the nipples can protrude when stimulated.

Breastfeeding can cause nipple inversion, as can sudden or major weight loss, and rarely breast cancer, which is why at Elanic you will be seen by a surgeon with experience treating breast cancer patients so that this can be excluded.

At Elanic we also offer areola reduction in cases where our clients feel their areola is oversized and it causes them discomfort. This again is a straightforward procedure which provides our clients with excellent results.

If you are caused discomfort by inverted nipples or a large areola area, then please book a personalised consultation with one of our consultant surgeons who will be happy to explain the procedure to you in detail.

Inverted nipple correction surgery at Elanic Glasgow involves dividing the ducts that are pulling the nipple in so that the nipple can be repositioned. Our surgeons use a special technique to divide only the shortest ducts and keep as many as possible intact so that the ability to breastfeed is maximised but this may still reduce a woman’s ability to breastfeed. A small piece of skin is then placed under the nipple to keep it in the out position.
