For most women, inverted nipples are a congenital condition, meaning they have had them since birth. However, some patients will develop inverted nipples later in life through injury, trauma, massive weight loss, infections, cancer, disease, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Inverted nipples can occur when the breast ducts are truncated, or the breast tissue is tightened. If the nipples suddenly become inverted, it’s essential that you see a doctor right away to diagnose any underlying medical issues.
Inverted nipple repair, performed using local anesthesia, is a simple, straightforward procedure to reverse this fairly common condition. It can provide women with a more natural-looking breast appearance and the proper nipple projection for their bodies. Two tiny incisions are created to release the breast tissue and allow the nipple to resurface in an organic fashion. Dr. Savalia focuses on providing a balanced, symmetrical outcome that is carefully tailored to the patient’s wishes.
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.
Women who are frustrated by the feel and look of inverted nipples are excellent candidates for Dr. Savalia’s repair procedure, provided they are of sound mind and body, they are non-smokers, and they are free from significant, uncontrolled health issues such as hypertension or bleeding disorders. In addition, clients should have realistic expectations for their final results.
Dr. Savalia will meet with you in private at his Newport Beach location and conduct a thorough physical evaluation and medical review. He will then make his best recommendation for your treatment. If the doctor is concerned that an underlying medical condition may be present, he will make a referral to a specialist before proceeding with your surgery.
Typically, there is minimal downtime after your inverted nipple repair treatment. You will not experience swelling, bruising, and pain as you might after breast augmentation or mastopexy. However, Dr. Savalia wants to ensure your recovery is smooth and stress-free. He will provide you with a detailed aftercare plan, prescription pain medications, and a clear understanding of what you can expect over the coming weeks and months. If you have any questions, never hesitate to reach out to the doctor and his staff. They understand that your care continues long after you are discharged from the office.

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.

Consultations with Dr. Savalia are relaxed and informative, never rushed or impersonal.
In my practice, I see a lot of patients who are concerned that their breasts are showing their age. Growing older naturally leads to changes in reproductive hormones that dictate the tissue and structure of breasts. The result is that, over time, your breasts begin to lose their firmness and fullness. While this process is […]
