Surgery for puffy nipples...
It is not uncommon for a male to develop swelling in their areolas during puberty. Some patients may also have enlarged breast tissue. A simple procedure of liposuctioning the excess fat and removing the glandual tissue from the areolas can leave you with a much flatter appearance. I would contact a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate for this procedure.

Gynecomastia Surgery and Areola Reduction
Thank you for the question.
Gynecomastia comes from the Greek meaning "gyne" meaning woman and "mastos" meaning breasts. It refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males. The diagnosis can be made by physical examination where relatively firm tissue (breast gland tissue) can be differentiated from relatively soft tissue (adipose tissue).
Breast prominence due to excessive adipose tissue is called pseudo-gynecomastia...

Yes surgery will help
Your condition can be helped with surgery. If the tissue is very glandular then you would need direct excision (using a small incision around the nipple), and if the tissue is soft maybe liposuction alone can give you the desired result. Consult with a plastic surgeon.

Gynaecomastia
This is a type of gynaecomastia (male breast overgrowth). The nipples are puffy because of presence of gland tissue under the areola. This can be easily improved on by removing the excess tissue through a small incision at the margin of the areola. Please see a Plastic Surgeon.

Gynecomastia
Surgical excision of the excess breast tissue is the best answer. This can usually be done through a very inconspicuous scar along the border of the lower areola. The excess breast gland (Gynecomastia) as well as any excess fat can be removed leaving a more natural shape.
