What are the surgical methods for inverted nipples?

Inverted breasts must be taken seriously by every woman. There are many ways to treat inverted nipples as quickly as possible. For example, surgery can be used to improve inverted nipples as soon as possible. Therefore, many women with inverted nipples may wish to undergo breast surgery. The following introduces the surgical methods for inverted nipples. You can have a comprehensive understanding of them.

Common surgical procedures include:

1. Surgery to preserve mammary ducts. This surgery is suitable for patients with mild, moderate or severe degrees of mammary duct depression. Before the operation, use a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide and saline to carefully clean the depressed area to reduce the chance of surgical infection, and perform local infiltration anesthesia at the base of the nipple.

2. Mammary duct cutting surgery can be used for women who have already given birth and do not plan to breastfeed in the future, or for patients with recurrent local inflammation and severe scar traction and deformity. The treatment before and after surgery is the same as the above method. During the operation, the scar at the base of the nipple is removed, and any inflammatory mass is also removed. Completely cut off the breast duct, fully release the inverted nipple, and design a tissue flap to fill the tissue defect at the root of the nipple.

This operation is usually performed under local anesthesia. There are many different surgical procedures, which can be selected according to the specific situation. The operation is performed within the areola. The operation is minor and will not leave obvious surgical scars. Under normal circumstances, the sensory nerves of the nipple will not be damaged, so the normal sensation of the nipple will not be hindered after the operation. The surgery generally does not damage the milk ducts, so it will not cause lactation problems.
