Objective To investigate the effectiveness of rotation-embedding technology for treatment of moderate to severe inverted nipples. Methods Between March 2012 and March 2014, 24 patients (39 nipples) with moderate to severe inverted nipples were treated using rotation-embedding technology. The age ranged from 28 to 42 years (mean, 32 years). The bilateral nipples involved in 15 cases, unilateral nipple in 9 cases, including 30 moderate inverted nipples, 9 severe inverted nipples. The first time operation was performed in the other patients except 1 patient who had received corrective operation of bilateral nipples. Results The operation was successfully performed in all patients; primary healing of incision was obtained; no swollen, bleeding, dehiscence, or blood flow obstacle occurred. All patients were followed up 5-24 months (mean, 12 months). The shapes of nipples were satisfactory; bilateral nipples were symmetrical basically; no nipple inversion recurred, and the nipple skins had good sensation. Conclusion Using rotation-embedding technology can correct moderate to severe inverted nipples effectively.
