Nipple inversion is mainly congenital, but it can also be caused by trauma or surgery, breast tumors, and fibrous hyperplasia after mastitis. For this physiological defect, women of course cannot tolerate it, so they need a treatment method for nipple inversion. Then, what is the best way to treat inverted nipples? Experts point out that the treatment of inverted nipples should vary according to the patient's age, degree of inversion, demand for breastfeeding, and the recurrence of local conditions. Generally, unmarried and childless women are advised to preserve their breastfeeding function; if there is redness and swelling in the area due to an acute inflammatory response, surgical treatment should be postponed until the inflammation subsides for a certain period of time before proceeding.

How to treat inverted nipples:
1. Conservative treatment for inverted nipples:
Before treatment, the degree of nipple inversion should be determined first. Place two fingers around the areola and squeeze towards the center to make the nipple protrude. If the nipple can be squeezed out and remain for several seconds, negative pressure suction can usually correct the inverted deformity.

This method of treating inverted nipples is suitable for patients with mild, moderate, and severe degrees of inversion. Before the surgery, clean the inverted area carefully with cotton swabs dipped in hydrogen peroxide and saline to reduce the chance of surgical infection, and use local infiltration anesthesia at the base of the nipple.

For women who have already given birth and do not plan to breastfeed in the future, or for patients with recurrent local inflammation and severe inverted deformity due to scar traction, this type of plastic surgery for inverted nipples can be used.
