Objective To explore the method of self-made adjustable nipple retraction corrector for the treatment of different de-grees of nipple retraction.Methods From May 2020 to May 2022,Department of Aesthetic Surgery of Aesthetic Hospital,Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University used a self-made adjustable nipple retraction corrector to treat 27 patients(37 sides)with different degrees of nipple retraction.Among them,18 cases(27 sides)of mild nipple retraction were treated with self-made adjustable nipple re-traction corrector.Nine patients(10 sides)with moderate or severe congenital nipple retraction were treated by rotating-embedding valve technique combined with self-made adjustable nipple retraction corrector.Results The incision healed in stage Ⅰ,the blood flow of the nipple was normal,and the sensation was not abnormal.The 27 patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months(average 12 months).The con-vex degree of the affected lateral papilla was satisfactory and the shape was basically symmetrical.No recurrence was reported during the follow-up.Conclusion Self-made adjustable nipple retraction corrector has good therapeutic effect in the treatment of different degrees of nipple retraction and is worth popularizing.
