How Microscopic Correction (Tunnel/Suspension Method) is performed
With the aid of microscopic magnification and cold light illumination, a subcutaneous tunnel is often created through a tiny incision to gradually release the fibrous bands pulling the nipple inward, while preserving patent milk ducts as much as possible. Subsequently, suspension or anchoring sutures are used to form support in the superficial and deep layers to reduce retraction; meticulous hemostasis and shape adjustment are performed simultaneously. Postoperative monitoring of blood supply, bleeding, and tension, with scheduled dressing changes, aims to stabilize eversion and preserve breastfeeding channels as much as possible. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
