I have an inverted nipple and want to get breast augmentation. Can they fix the nipple too?

My nipple is inverted on the right side. I want to get a breast augmentation. Im 48 years old and live in North Charleston, SC. Are there any doctors here or where would the closest one be? And do you know what the consultation cost would be?

Yes, the inverted nipple can be everted at the time of your breast augmentation. There are several different methods to do so. You should discuss with your board-certified surgeon how he or she is planning to do so.

The inverted nipple operation can be performed well either at the time of breast augmentation or separately under locale anesthesia in the office. It takes about 30 mins and has a high level of satisfaction.

Thank you for sharing. A nipple inversion correction is possible to do during an augmentation breast procedure. There are several grades of inversion, and this should be evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Costs are regionally variable. See several PS's to have a better idea of what is appropriate for you. Best wishes.

An inverted nipple can be corrected at the same time as a breast augmentation. Sometimes the augmentation alone may correct an inverted nipple.
