Confused about gynecomastia. Can puffy nipples just be fat? There was no gland after doing lipo and periareolar incision (Photo)

"Puffy Nipple Areola Complex" is among the most common forms of gynecomastia. This gland and/or adipose tissue accumulation can be located under the areola or can be slightly extended outside the areola, causing the areola to appear dome shaped.This form of #Gynecomastia can be found in all age groups but is more common in young adults.As each case is different, it is vital that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in male breast surgery. The surgeon should determine if you are a suitable candidate for male breast reduction by liposuction or glandular excision. It is also crucial to have a plastic surgeon who is well-versed in the gynecomastia condition can determine if there is firm breast tissue beneath the areola that is causing the nipples to project (which is often the case), and if so, how much of this glandular tissue can be removed to create a flat appearance.#PuffyNipple surgery generally takes only an hour or two, and the recovery time is short; sometimes less than a week. There is minimal scarring and the success rate is excellent. Therefore, patients who suffer from "Puffy Nipples", and who view it as an unaesthetic and unpleasant condition, may desire surgical intervention to correct the "puffy nipple" condition. Men who suffer from large #areolas may notice that after breast surgery, the skin of the chest muscles will tighten, causing the areolas to tighten and diminish in size. This is a result of the removal of glandular and/or adipose tissue.

How long are you after surgery? Swellings lasts for months, so don't sweat it yet.  I almost always perform glandular excision because lipo doesn't suck out breast.  However, it is possible that you had very little to no breast.  Things continue to improve over time after this operation.  Skin tightens, swelling goes down, and men are very, very happy.  As you will be. Congrats on your decisionon to go through with it!

Aren't  you one confused soul,So many questions in such a short time.Give yourself some more time. Results after liposuction and gland excision typically takes 3 to 6 months to stabilize. It looks good for the first 3 or 4 dys and then the swelling sets in.it gets bigger , by 10 days it might be as big as how it was before your surgery(especially in people with smaller sized chests). Slowly the swelling reduces over the next couple of months.Gynaecomastia correction is purely done for getting a good shape of the chest. the fat and the gland are removed to get a proper shape. leaving a little bit behind if a good shape is attained will not do you any harm. but retained fat and gland will cause the swelling to go down very slowly.keep visiting your surgeon regularly.if at all a revision is required , it is usually a minor office procedure.
