What to do if you have small nipples?

Some female friends find that their nipples are relatively small and worry whether there is something wrong with their breasts. The reason for small nipples may be due to uncoordinated breast development. In some cases, the nipples are congenitally too small. This can be improved by traction, and female friends should be careful not to wear too tight clothes.

What causes small nipples?

Experts say that small nipples indicate uncoordinated breast development and may be a manifestation of breast development. In addition, an important reason for small nipples is inverted nipples. Inverted nipples make women's nipples look smaller. Inverted nipples and small nipples are a great problem for women. Small nipples will affect breastfeeding and deprive them of the right to be happy women!

If the problem of small nipples is caused by inverted nipples, traction can be used to improve it. For example, frequently pulling the nipples during breast development can make the nipples protrude. However, some severe inverted nipples require nipple correction surgery to improve. The inverted nipple correction surgery is performed under local anesthesia. The inverted nipple is first lifted out of the body surface, and a crescent-shaped areola flap is designed, the size of which is determined according to the degree of inversion and the size of the nipple. The nipple edges are separated, and the fiber bundles between the mammary ducts are carefully separated and cut to correct the inverted nipple. Then, part of the breast tissue is fully added to the space below the repositioned nipple, the nipple neck is fixed, and finally the skin is sutured. The stitches are removed 7 days after the operation. After the operation, the nipple is protruding without scars.

In addition, many female friends wear clothes that are too tight, especially women's underwear is too tight during the period of breast development, which also affects the normal blood supply and normal growth and development of the breasts and nipples, thus causing nipple retraction. It is understood that this happens in 2% of women.
