Piercing the nipples
Before the puncture, the nipples are brought into an excited state, and the points of passage of the needle are noted, after which the puncture itself is performed. It is important that in a calm state, the channel formed by the puncture is not displaced. Because of this, with some features of the structure of the breast, for example, with very small, or overly drawn nipples, piercing can be quite problematic, and sometimes completely impossible. The piercing of large nipples does not cause such problems, and if the puncture is correct, even a large product does not shift or deform the channel. Depending on the location of the products, the piercing can be vertical or horizontal. It should be borne in mind that the piercing procedure is not as simple as it seems at first glance, and the professionalism of the master plays an important role. In the absence of experience, punctures can turn out curves, and in cases of neglect of sanitary requirements, the risk of infection is large enough.
