Under normal circumstances, the size of the nipple is about 0.8~1.2 cm, and the diameter of the areola is about 3.5~4.5 cm. If it is smaller than this, it indicates that the nipple is invaginated, and the female nipple will not protrude in the areola plane or subcutaneous area, which is a common breast deformity. Nipple invagination can be divided into congenital and acquired. The former refers to dysplasia of nipple and areola, while the latter always wears tight underwear, and has fibrous hyperplasia after suffering from breast tumor and Mastitis. Nipple retraction not only affects aesthetics, but also brings a series of problems.
Does nipple retraction only affect aesthetics?
Nipple recession not only affects aesthetics, but also causes local infections. Nipple recession can increase the difficulty of local cleaning, easily accumulate dirt and induce secondary infections, leading to chronic inflammation. There is also a large amount of Exudate accumulated locally, accompanied by obvious odor, which is easy to cause local skin erosion. In addition, nipple invagination will affect normal lactation, milk accumulation, and cannot be discharged normally, often resulting in acute Mastitis due to secondary infection.
What to do with inverted nipples?
1. Manual pull
Adolescence is the golden period of breast development and an important stage of nipple retraction correction. Usually, gently pull the nipple 3 to 5 times a day. The nipple protrudes, increasing the support force of surrounding skin, and giving play to the shaping effect. But the specific method for long-term sustainability is to place two thumbs parallel to both sides of the nipple, gently and slowly open from the nipple to both sides, and gently pull the areola skin and Subcutaneous tissue, Repeat about five or six times. Then place two thumbs on both sides of the nipple, allowing the nipple to move vertically up and down.
2. Negative pressure suction
Use a suction device to continue negative pressure suction on the nipple. The air cylinder of a 10 milliliter hollow syringe can also be directly buckled onto the female areola. The nipple of the syringe is connected to a rubber tube and another syringe to inhale the piston of the second syringe, creating negative pressure and helping to extract the nipple.
3. Wear suitable underwear
Choose the appropriate bra based on the size of the breasts. When wearing the bra, be sure to place the nipples in a fixed recess and not squeeze them. At the same time, adjust your diet and eat more foods containing high-quality protein, such as fish, eggs, beans, chicken, etc., as well as starch substances such as rice and potato noodles. Protein and starch can bring energy to the body.
