I’m a 30 year old male who had an inverted nipple on the right side ever since the age of 15/16 for as long as I can remember.
This had made intimate life uncomfortable even leisure such as hesitating to remove my top at the gym, public swimming pools and the beach!
I spoke to a doctor a few years back who was not particularly confident about the procedure which set me back this was around 2018 so Iv waited a while before making the choice to go ahead and then the pandemic began and set all my plans back.
Fast forward 2025 I got in contact with more doctors who had to do revision and refuse to operate on a male nipple even though the procedure is identical to both males and females.
I contacted The Private Clinic in Harley Street in which they advised Dr Giuseppe Di Taranto immediately to me, due to many positive reviews and highly recommended by his own staff at the clinic it made me confident in his work I was driven to make an appointment.
The consultation went brilliantly loved the energy from the moment I walked in and was welcomed by humble staff.
DR Giuseppe explained what can and cannot be achieved in the operation and side affects I needed to be aware of, when I saw he was confident to go ahead with the operation it gave me the green light, he was incredibly professional and empathetic to the situation.
The day of operation I felt slightly nervous having gone under the knife multiple times but you never get use to it haha, I was met by the nurse at Fitzroy hospital who was lovely going over paper work and prep before the operation.
For the inverted nipple correction I was fully awake but comforted by the main DR Giuseppe and his utmost professionalism and staff, I was in the room for probably no longer than 30 minutes, the numbing for the local anaesthesia felt like a slight bee sting it lasted 5 seconds and it was over I felt NOTHING before you know it I was stitched up and ready to leave and go home.
Recovery went incredibly smooth had to stay in the upright position for a few days minor sacrifice for a long term forever result which will make you happy, a tiny bit of discomfort nothing pain killers and a small massage can’t fix it’s no big deal at all bare in mind my pain tolerance is very high thankfully.
Consultation date: March 29th 2025.
Operation date: April 19th 2025.
First follow up: April 25th 2025.
I came in to see the nurse on the 25th of April one week after the operation having almost screamed to see a fully outward pointed nipple which naturally retracted inwards for 15 years.
Luckily my nipple was reactive to temperature and stimuli prior to the operation which was good to begin with but I still had a few weeks ahead of me to be fully healed.
Came in to see Dr Giuseppe on the 7th of June (7 weeks post op) and even he was amazed to see how outwards it was, you simply cannot see a visible scar I’d be lying to you if I said there was one the way the nipple tissue repairs itself is mind blowing.
It’s still very reactive and I didn’t loose my senses thankfully as the nipple slowly and gradually heals in place, in terms of symmetry you have to be realistic as we aren’t symmetrical all over but you can’t really tell they are ALMOST identical and close in character, Dr Giuseppe is not just a plastic surgeon but an artist you have to have an eye for detail in order to try and emulate one nipple to the other I am forever thankful.
Iv given this review a more detailed approach for anyone who is contemplating a potential procedure with Dr Giuseppe Di Taranto and you won’t be disappointed just get in touch and meet him, may I also add my payment for my consultation also included first and second follow up AND if I had any concerns and wanted to come back to see him for free no clinic in the UK has this kind of system.
THANK YOU to Lucy for my quote, the utmost professionalism at The Private Clinic, all staff at Fitzroy Hospital and the amazing surgeon/ artist Dr Giuseppe Di Taranto!
