Treatment of an inverted nipple can be surgical or nonsurgical. An inverted nipple can be a sign of breast cancer, so your plastic surgeon will perform a thorough history and physical examination, and be looking for any signs of breast cancer. You may have a mammogram and/or ultrasound of the breasts.

The nonsurgical treatment is placement of a nipple ring that will help evert the nipple and cause internal scarring, to promote keeping the nipple everted. Surgery involves dividing the ducts, that are tethering the nipple, and once the ducts are divided, the nipple will often stay everted.
