I am facing a very similar problem as you beetle. I am 1.5 months post op. While one of my nipples is fine, the other one got inverted. On closer inspection, i realized that it had developed a crack right in the center of my nipple. While the crack has filled up now, my nipple is still inverted and looks weird. I am just hoping that with time it would pop out again.

Strangely, prior to the surgery, I had no such issues, and both my nipples were perfectly normal.

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

Usually, a post op retracted nipple (which wasn't retracted originally) is due to the development of scar tissue pulling the nipple down.  While I am totally unfamiliar with the gadget that is described above by James56, it is theoretically possible that slow, constant traction on the nipple could be of help.  On the other hand, theoretically, it could also stretch the blood supply so much that the tissue circulation is compromised.  I have not heard of a suction device that is capable of treating the problem.

For women who have retracted nipples (which are due to tethering by the breast ducts -- a different problem), correction of the problem frequently requires surgery to divide the ducts and elevate the nipple.

I have revised some men with this post-op problem -- it requires surgery to cut the tethering scar tissue and then placement of some other tissue, such as a fat flap, between the two divided segments so that they do not find each other again and re-unite, thereby recreating the problem.
