INVERTED NIPPLE CORRECTION AT VILVA COSMETICS
Inverted nipple correction is a surgical procedure designed to address nipples that pull inward instead of projecting outward. This condition may be congenital or result from trauma, breastfeeding, or infection.

Our expert team at Vilva Cosmetics offers minimally invasive correction to restore natural projection and improve both aesthetic appearance and self-confidence.
The procedure typically involves releasing fibrous tissue tethering the nipple and is performed under local anesthesia.
During your consultation at our Erode-based clinic, our highly skilled surgeons will assess the degree of inversion and recommend the most suitable technique. We aim to provide safe, precise, and natural-looking results for individuals seeking nipple normalization.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – INVERTED NIPPLE CORRECTION
What is inverted nipple correction?
Inverted nipple correction is a surgical procedure that corrects nipples that are pulled inward, allowing them to project outward naturally. It's a quick and effective solution for both cosmetic and functional concerns.
What causes inverted nipples?
Inverted nipples may be congenital or develop over time due to breastfeeding, aging, trauma, or underlying conditions. If inversion is sudden or new, it’s important to rule out medical causes before surgery.
Who is a good candidate for this procedure?
Individuals with persistent or bothersome nipple inversion, either one-sided or both, and in good health are typically good candidates. Those looking to improve nipple appearance or resolve hygiene/breastfeeding issues may benefit.
Is it a permanent solution?
Yes, in most cases the results are permanent. However, outcomes depend on the technique used and individual anatomy. Severe grades of inversion may carry a slightly higher risk of recurrence.
Will I be able to breastfeed after correction?
If the procedure preserves the milk ducts, breastfeeding may still be possible. During your consultation, the surgeon will discuss your preferences and the appropriate technique based on your needs.
What type of anaesthesia is used?
The procedure is usually done under local anaesthesia with or without sedation, depending on comfort and severity. It's often a day care procedure with minimal downtime.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery is relatively fast. Most people return to normal activities within a few days. Swelling or mild bruising may last a week. Stitches are usually removed within 5–7 days if non-absorbable.
RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
What are the possible risks of the procedure?
Risks may include infection, asymmetry, scarring, temporary numbness, or recurrence. Choosing an experienced cosmetic surgeon minimizes complications and ensures better outcomes.
Will there be visible scars?
Scarring is usually minimal and hidden around the base of the nipple. With proper care, scars fade over time and are often barely noticeable.
AFTERCARE
What kind of aftercare is required?
Aftercare involves keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding pressure or friction on the nipples, and following prescribed ointments or antibiotics if given. Avoid strenuous chest exercises for 2–3 weeks.
When can I see the results?
Results are often visible immediately after surgery, though final results settle after a few weeks once swelling resolves. Follow-up visits ensure healing is on track.
