Nipple retraction surgery recurrence

Patient's question:

And so, is it a surgical issue? Will further treatment still require surgery? Additionally, I chose a larger size for my underwear after the surgery to avoid pressing on the nipple. After the stitches were removed, I continued to use a breast pump for nearly a month (the doctor said there was no need to pull, and it would not recur). I hope a doctor can help answer this. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello; Based on your main complaint and symptoms; this condition is prone to rebound if postoperative care is not properly maintained. To improve the postoperative condition and prevent rebound, you can wrap the nipple with gauze and adhesive tape to keep it exposed, which can prevent rebound and eliminate the need for using a breast pump for treatment. This treatment method is simple and effective, and can maintain good results.
