Nipple Correction Cost in India

The cost of nipple correction surgery in India typically ranges from $1,500 to $7,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Nipple correction surgery changes the shape, size or position of the nipple. The most common reason is an inverted nipple, which points inwards. The cost usually depends on:

• Type of correction: inverted nipple correction or nipple reduction.
• One or both sides
• Anaesthetic: often local anaesthetic.
• Setting: usually a short day-case procedure.

Nipple correction is usually a short procedure. Ask exactly what is included in any quote.

The Royal United Hospitals Bath explains that many women have an inverted nipple for harmless reasons. However, a nipple that has recently become inverted can be a sign of breast cancer and should be checked by a doctor.

Inverted nipples can cause discomfort, difficulty with breastfeeding or cosmetic concern. Some people have no symptoms and choose no treatment.

Options include:

• Non-surgical devices: suction devices that gently draw the nipple out over time.
• Surgery that preserves the milk ducts: releasing tight tissue while trying to keep breastfeeding possible.
• Surgery that divides the milk ducts: more reliable for severe inversion, but breastfeeding from that side is no longer possible.

Nipple reduction surgery reduces the length or width of a large nipple.

Recovery is usually quick, with a dressing or small shield for a short time. Strenuous activity may be limited for a week or two.

Possible risks include the nipple turning in again, reduced sensation, infection, scarring and, depending on the technique, the inability to breastfeed.
