Patient's question:
Hello, is there a way to correct congenital nipple retraction? How is it treated well, and what consequences will there be after treatment?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided content, with line breaks preserved as instructed and all Chinese text translated into English:1. Manual Traction. Puberty is a critical period for breast development and also an important time to correct inverted nipples. Regularly tractioning the nipples can weaken the breasts and reduce the supporting force of the surrounding skin, achieving some "shaping" effect. Do this several times a day. Over time, the nipples will naturally gradually protrude outward. If it doesn’t work, you can first gently push the skin near the nipple outward.
2. Suction Therapy. After early pregnancy, use a breast pump several times a day to suction the nipples, utilizing negative pressure to make them protrude.
3. Using a Nipple Corrector to treat flat or inverted nipples.
4. Surgical Plastic Surgery to correct inverted nipples.
