Individuals seeking to enhance nipple appearance or address functional concerns
An inverted nipple lacks normal prominence, failing to project beyond the areola and instead remaining retracted inward. While inverted nipples generally present only aesthetic concerns, they can occasionally indicate underlying issues that warrant medical investigation. This condition can affect both women and men, may involve one or both breasts, and can be either congenital or acquired. In mild cases, the condition is typically reversible, with inverted nipples temporarily projecting outward when manually stimulated or exposed to cold. However, in more severe cases, the inversion remains permanent even with stimulation. At our Milan clinic, we offer precise nipple reshaping for both aesthetic and functional purposes. This minimally invasive procedure can correct inverted nipples, reduce oversized nipples, or create symmetry between nipples. Our expert surgeons employ advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking results, prioritizing patient comfort and satisfaction.

Inverted nipples can be either congenital (present from birth, affecting 10-20% of women) or acquired. Causes include:
Prof. Carlo Tremolada employs a simple yet innovative technique that achieves permanent correction without visible scarring. Using a selective approach, fibrous ducts are carefully identified while preserving healthy ones, followed by stabilization using absorbable sutures. This minimally invasive method prioritizes both aesthetic outcomes and functional preservation.
Our expert surgeons use advanced techniques to modify nipple size, shape, projection, and symmetry. Whether addressing inverted nipples, reducing oversized nipples, or improving projection, our tailored approach ensures results that harmonize with your unique body contours and personal goals. We also address functional concerns, such as breastfeeding difficulties due to nipple inversion.
We aim to achieve natural-looking results that enhance overall breast appearance. Special attention is paid to proportions and symmetry, ensuring your nipples complement breast size and shape. The final result is a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing breast profile that looks and feels natural.

In most cases, nipple surgery does not affect the ability to breastfeed. However, it's important to discuss any concerns with your surgeon, especially if you plan to breastfeed in the future.
Recovery is usually quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week. Complete healing may take a few weeks, during which special care instructions should be followed.
