When I went through puberty (23 now), I seemed to have suffered some gyno (I believe thats the correct term). My nipples are puffier and larger than most men. I work out daily and have a good build, but the larger nipples lowers my self esteem. Is there a surgery to fix this? If so what is the average cost? What type of doctor would I go see? And what is the average recovery time? Thanks, Dan

Enlarged nipples and/or areolas may sometimes be the only signs of gynecomastia

Gynecomastia can present in many ways. Most commonly it is the actual size of the breast mound. But at times the nipple and areolas may also be enlarged, sometimes without any breast enalrgement.

Large and/or puffy nipples and areola in a male: Male breast reduction

In my experience, when males describe their condiiton as large or puffy nipples, they require a full gynecomastia repair. Isolated prominent nipples can be treated with reduction bu this is not what you have. The puffiness comes from excess glandular tissue beneath the skin which needs to be removed.

Reducing nipples and areolas in men.

Decreasing the diameter of the areola (pigmented area around the nipple) is a straight forward procedure that is routinely done with female breast reduction and lift. It is also sometimes done for male gynecomastia surgery and can flatten out a "puffy" areola. The scar is usually very acceptable. The projection of the nipple can also be reduced if that is a concern. Part of the nipple is wedged out and then the remaining part is folder over and... more

Neat little tricks for nipple reduction

It happens. There are some men with too long a nipple and look for a reduction. Several techniques exist--all done under local anesthesia--to reduce them, while preserving sensitivity. One technique basically "lops off the top", other techniques "telescope" the nipple inward, yet others use a "hat" technique to fold the top over. Recovery is typically a weekend.

Gynecomastia

Many individuals benefit tremendously from gynecomastia correction. I am not sure from your question that you have gynecomastia. Do your nipples protrude , are you simply concerned with the diameter or are both an issue? The treatment will vary based on the specifics of your case.
