Inverted Nipple Repair
WOOA Plastic Surgery is in HM Tower, 492 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, a short walk from Sinnonhyeon and Gangnam Stations, and welcomes patients from around the world.
At WOOA, inverted nipple correction brings a retracted or flat nipple out to a natural height that suits the breast, while protecting the milk ducts and sensation.

What Is Inverted Nipple Repair?
Inverted nipple repair treats nipples that are pulled inward by tight fibrous tissue and duct structures. Left alone, severe inverted nipples can cause repeated discharge or inflammation. WOOA releases the fibrous tissue that holds the nipple in, then reinforces the supporting structures so the nipple stays in a stable, natural position.
FAQs
Why Consider Inverted Nipple Repair?
- Hygiene: Reduces problems such as inflammation or discharge linked to inversion.
- Breastfeeding: Can help those concerned about feeding difficulties.
- Confidence: Relieves long-standing self-consciousness about nipple shape.
Is There a Risk of Recurrence?
Inversion can return depending on the tension of the fibrous tissue and milk ducts. WOOA lowers this risk by combining tissue release with medial fixation and reinforcement of the supporting structures. Incisions follow the natural curve of the nipple, so scars are very fine and fade over time.
Who Is a Good Candidate? Will I Be Able to Breastfeed?
It may suit you if your nipple turns inward, becomes inflamed because of inversion, or causes worry about breastfeeding or appearance. Preserving the milk ducts is a priority, so most patients can still breastfeed; for severe inversion the technique may differ, so a personal consultation is advised.
