Nipple peeling: The moderately sized and erect nipple point rises up in the plump hemispherical breast, and looks like a red flower decorated with green leaves, making the breast bright and distinct. You can imagine how disappointing it is to have plump breasts with no nipples and only a small pit. Plump and erect breasts with erect nipples make women more attractive and confident. However, due to various reasons, many women do not have raised nipples on their breasts, and only have an invisible sunken part in the breast. Many women often mistakenly believe that they have no nipples, and become depressed and unable to attend social activities normally, which brings negative consequences to their life and work. Infinite troubles.

Nipple peeling - manifestation of nipple inversion: The female nipple does not rise from the surface of the areola, or even sinks into the skin surface, and the local area looks like a crater. This phenomenon is called nipple inversion. Of course, the nipple The degree of subsidence is determined according to the patient's condition. In mild cases, the nipples can be inverted to varying degrees. The nipples can be squeezed out by hand, or the nipples can be lifted up from the body surface by sucking with negative pressure. In severe cases, it is simply buried in the skin surface, unable to be squeezed out, and often grows in reverse. Of course, even if the inverted nipple is squeezed out, it will generally be smaller. There is often no distinct nipple neck. The incidence of inverted nipples in women is 1-2%. The degree of nipple inversion on both sides can be irregular or occur on only one side. It is a common female disease. The nipple is deeply sunken into the areola, which not only makes the appearance unsightly, but also can store dirt or oil due to the sunken nipple, resulting in severe itching, eczema or inflammation. Severe invagination makes it difficult for the baby to suck milk. It brings inconvenience and psychological harm to the patients.

Nipple inversion degree: Nipple inversion varies in depth and can be divided into three categories: one is single-sided nipple inversion, where the nipple is placed on the neck and can be easily squeezed out. After extrusion, the nipple size is the same as that of ordinary people. Similar to the second category, the nipple is simply sunken into the areola, but the nipple can be squeezed out by hand. The nipple is smaller than normal, and most of them have no nipple neck; the third category is that the nipple is simply buried under the areola, and the inverted nipple cannot be squeezed out.

Nipple peeling - causes of nipple retraction: Clinical observation: Nipple retraction is mostly a congenital deformity, but there are also acquired causes such as nipple and breast irritation (mastitis), trauma, tumors, and surgical combinations (big breast shortening and plastic surgery) postoperatively). Congenital nipple retraction is often caused by the development and malignant transformation of the smooth muscles in the nipple and areola. The nipple extends around the openings of 10-20 breast ducts, which are surrounded by smooth muscles extended by the areola muscles. The smooth muscle extends to the dermis of the nipple, and the muscle bundles in this area pull inward, causing the nipple to retract. There are also some cases where the mammary gland ducts are underdeveloped, and the mammary gland ducts fail to become ducts, but are pulled by a solid cord. Some nipples are poorly supported by deep drawing.

For secondary nipple inversion, for inversion with obvious combination of causes such as implantation surgery, trauma, etc., in addition to post-operative plastic surgery, the cause should be treated. If there is no clear cause of acquired nipple inversion, especially unilateral inversion, you should be alert to the occurrence of breast cancer.

Correction methods for nipple peeling: Nipple inversion is mainly treated with surgery. Primary nipple inversion (congenital) can be treated conservatively first. For example, use a breast pump to apply negative pressure to the nipples, or use manual traction. In severe cases and those in which attraction and traction are ineffective, surgical treatment should be performed. Secondary nipple inversion is often caused by breast cancer and should be accurately diagnosed first. Invagination caused by a combination of inflammation, trauma and surgical scars should be punished according to the cause, and plastic surgery should be carried out in the later stage.
