Adolescence is an important period for breast development and nipple inversion correction. Often pulling the nipple can make the nipple protrude, the mammary duct, fiber cord and smooth muscle stretch longer, and the nipple gradually protrudes naturally. But it takes a long time, and it should be carried out step by step to achieve good results.
2. Attraction therapy
Similar to the principle of manual traction, the nipple invagination is pulled by negative pressure suction device to achieve the purpose of prolonging the mammary duct and fiber cord.
3. Surgical therapy
(1) Bracket-type correction of inverted nipple Up to now, this method is the only surgical method that can preserve breast-feeding function. The sunken nipple was fixed on the external bracket by steel wire, and after 3 ~ 6 months of continuous traction, the purpose of lengthening the nipple and correcting nipple invagination was achieved. Suitable for patients with mild, moderate and severe depression. This method does not need to make an incision in the skin, does not destroy the mammary duct, can retain the lactation function, and does not affect the nipple feeling at the same time, with low recurrence rate. The disadvantage is that the treatment time is long, which may cause inconvenience to life.
(2) Incision correction of nipple invagination can be used for women who have given birth and will not consider breastfeeding in the future, or patients with local inflammation recurrence and serious deformity caused by scar traction. During the operation, the mammary duct was completely cut off, the sunken nipple was fully released, and the tissue flap was designed to fill the tissue defect at the root of the nipple and strengthen the support for the nipple.
The incision correction of nipple invagination can be completed at one time and the treatment time is short. However, the incision method needs to cut off or partially cut off the mammary duct, which affects the postoperative lactation function; If the scar on the deep side of the nipple appears contracture, it will cause the recurrence of nipple invagination.
If surgery is needed, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for surgery.
