What is the reason for nipple retraction? The nipple is not only a lactating organ for women, but also directly affects their body curves, making it very important for women who love beauty. Nipple retraction is a very common phenomenon, so what is the reason for nipple retraction?
The normal nipple should protrude about 7mm-9mm from the breast skin, but in some people, the nipple may partially or completely fall into the breast, which is known as nipple retraction. The inverted nipple can make it difficult for infants to suck milk, making it prone to contamination and infection. In addition, nipple recession can also affect physical beauty, so plastic surgery for nipple recession has dual significance in both beauty and treatment.
Why does nipple retraction occur?
The clothes are too tight. Especially for women, tight underwear during breast development can easily lead to nipple retraction.
Improper use of bra. Too small, too tight, or used too early can all lead to nipple retraction.
Nipple retraction is also related to genetics. In clinical observation of mothers and their mother's generation, grandmothers have a history of nipple retraction, and the likelihood of nipple retraction in the next generation is higher than in normal individuals.
There are ways to correct and treat inverted nipples, but the key is prevention.
The retraction of the nipple should start from adolescence. Women with inverted nipples in direct relatives such as mothers and aunts should be a key target for prevention.
Pull frequently. Adolescence is an important period for breast development and correction of nipple recession. Regularly pulling the nipples can protrude the breasts, increase the support of the surrounding skin, and play a shaping role. When the self pulling effect is not obvious, it is necessary to consult a doctor at the hospital in a timely manner and learn to use nipple retraction correction devices for treatment. For those who have not been corrected effectively, surgery can also be used for correction. The surgery is simple, painless, and can be performed in an outpatient setting.
Pay attention to clothes. Tight underwear should wear cotton products and be frequently replaced and cleaned. If there are signs of redness and cracks in the nipples under sunlight, the underwear should be boiled and disinfected to prevent infection. Girls should not use bras too early. Masks are usually 16 or 17 years old.
Prevent squeezing. Underwear and bra should be appropriate and not too tight. For girls with larger breasts, more attention should be paid to breast relaxation. For girls with prone habits, timely correction should be made to prevent nipple compression and exacerbate nipple retraction.
