The Inverted Nipple Repair Process

Consultation
Your consultation includes a private conversation with Dr. Burke to evaluate your nipple shape and the degree of inversion. She answers your questions, explains your surgical options, and designs a plan that supports your goals. Whether mild or severe, each case receives personalized attention rooted in experience and care.

Procedure
While you’re under local anesthesia, Dr. Burke releases fibrous bands beneath the nipple to encourage outward projection. She reshapes and secures the area with delicate sutures to support lasting definition. The entire process typically takes less than an hour, and at-home recovery is brief.

Recovery
You can return to light daily routines within several days, but should avoid exercise or upper body strain for at least 2 weeks. Most patients experience mild swelling or sensitivity that fades with time. Initial results develop within 4 weeks, gradually revealing smoother, more natural projection as the area heals.
How We Perform Our Surgeries

Dr. Burke gently separates and releases the tissue causing retraction while preserving the integrity of nearby ducts and skin.
Each step encourages proportion and symmetry, restoring a subtle projection that enhances your natural breast contour.
Our team honors your privacy and comfort throughout the experience, guiding you with honesty and consistent support.
Pre-Care Instructions
Discontinue nicotine use and alcohol consumption in the days before your procedure, as they may affect circulation and healing.
Choose soft, loose-fitting garments that avoid direct contact with your chest and allow for comfortable movement.
Post-Care Instructions
Avoid any upper body strain, lifting, or exercise during the first 2 weeks to protect your sutures and reduce swelling.
Follow our instructions for cleansing and dressing the area to prevent irritation or infection and encourage proper healing.
Return for all of your follow-up visits so Dr. Burke can assess your healing and guide your next steps carefully.
