What Can I Do About my Puffy Nipples? (photo)

April 29, 2013
Asked By:MrPatrick

I am an 18 year old male living with puffy nipples that protrude about an inch. I first remember them when I was around 14, so I assume it has something to do with the hormonal changes of puberty. I am 6'1" and 158 lb., and there is no fat on my breast. My pectoral muscle is very firm and looks normal. Is surgery my the option to get the gland reduced? In the US about how much should it cost? I guess I will need to confront my parents for the money, because I doubt insurance will cover it.
