How to correct inverted nipples?

Before understanding how to correct inverted nipples, let's first look at the dangers of inverted nipples: Since inverted nipples often interfere with breastfeeding, women should raise their nipples above the skin surface during pregnancy or after marriage. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to breastfeed, but they will also harbor dirt, which is not conducive to cleaning and can easily cause local odor, followed by infection, pain and discomfort, and can cause poor milk drainage and secondary infection to form mastitis and other lesions.

The treatment of inverted nipples should be determined based on the purpose of treatment, with the main factor being whether breastfeeding is required after surgery. For those who require breastfeeding, non-surgical treatments and surgery to preserve the mammary ducts should be the main treatments; for those who do not require breastfeeding, the main purpose is to make the nipples protrude and achieve a cosmetic effect.

The principle of non-surgical treatment is to make the nipple protrude through manual traction or suction with a breast pump, but this method is only suitable for those with flat nipples and mildly inverted nipples. For moderate to severe inverted nipples, surgical treatment should be used.

The purpose of surgical treatment is to ensure the good shape of the nipple, the stability of the result, and to enlarge the nipple. The skin flap method is usually used to correct inverted nipples while preserving the mammary ducts. The surrounding skin is removed or transferred to reshape, and then a purse-string suture is used to tighten the nipple neck to make the nipple protrude.

The surgical method answers the question of how to correct inverted nipples. It reminds everyone that inverted nipples are a disease and should be treated early, especially in a regular medical institution.
