Inverted Nipple Correction at 152 Harley Street is a surgical procedure designed to reposition a nipple that turns inward. The operation uses local anaesthetic, followed by a small incision beneath the nipple to release tight fibres. The nipple is held in a more projected position with stitches while scar tissue develops, and the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures. It may be considered where nipple appearance or discomfort is a concern, or where inversion creates functional difficulties such as trouble breastfeeding. Consultant and facility fees are included, with the total cost confirmed after the initial consultation. The listed starting price is approximately £2,150.
