Some Moms struggle with inverted or “hidden” nipples, especially after breastfeeding. Awake Inverted Nipple Surgery gently corrects this with comfort and privacy.
It’s a topic that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough — and one that can quietly affect confidence, intimacy, and even breastfeeding for future pregnancies. The good news: it’s a straightforward, private, in-office fix.
What Is Awake Inverted Nipple Surgery?
Awake Inverted Nipple Surgery corrects nipples that retract inward instead of projecting outward, using local anesthesia only. There’s no general anesthesia, no operating room, and no hospital stay. The procedure releases the tight tissue or ducts pulling the nipple inward and allows it to maintain natural projection going forward.
Benefits
What to Expect
Consultation: Dr. Millicent Odunze Geers will evaluate the degree of inversion (grades range from mild to severe) and discuss whether preserving milk duct function is a priority for you.
The Procedure: Performed under local anesthesia in-office. Most patients describe mild pressure but no pain, and the entire procedure typically takes under an hour.
Recovery: Mild swelling or tenderness for a few days is normal. Most Moms return to normal activities within a day or two, avoiding direct pressure or friction on the area as it heals.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Good candidates are Moms bothered by nipple inversion — whether it’s always been present or developed after breastfeeding — who are in good general health. During your consultation, Dr. Geers will talk privately and directly about your specific concerns, including whether future breastfeeding is a consideration for you.
