Q:

Is it possible to correct inverted nipples? Would all feeling in the nipple then stop? How is it done and what is the recovery time?

A:

Correction of inverted nipples can be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon as an office procedure using local anesthesia. Recovery time is 5 to 7 days. Although loss of feeling in the nipples can occur, most patients retain normal sensation postoperatively.
