Various methods have been reported to correct an inverted nipple. Although a satisfactory outcome has been reported with most techniques, each method carries a drawback inherent in the technique itself, including complicated operative technique, sensory disturbance of the nipple, marked scarring of the nipple areola and other donor regions, destruction of breast function, and incomplete correction. This report describes a simple method for correcting an inverted nipple. It incorporates a new concept of using artificial dermis for tissue augmentation and is performed without sacrificing any donor site and complex design. It was applied to four nipples in two nulliparous cases. For all four corrected inverted nipples, good results were obtained, and there have been no complications. There were no deformities of the nipples or the areolas after this procedure, and the surgical scars were inconspicuous.
