Answer: Puffy nipples It is common for adolescent boys to have some sort of excessive breast growth, but this tends to resolve itself as they approach adulthood. Maintaining a healthy weight also helps reduce the risk of gynecomastia. You should see your doctor for a better assessment, but it does appear that you have a mild case of gynecomastia.

Answer: Puffy nipples It is common for boys going through puberty to develop excessive breast growth, but this tends to resolve itself as they approach adulthood. In general I would recommend waiting 12 months and if the gynecomastia has not resolved have a hormone profile carried out.

Answer: Will my puffy nipples go away? I'm a 16 year old boy Thank you for the question and pictures. I would suggest that you seek consultation with your primary care physician and/or board-certified plastic surgeons. Physical examination will be key when it comes providing you with an accurate diagnosis. Based on your description, it is possible that you are dealing with gynecomastia. "Gynecomastia" comes from the Greek meaning "gyne" meaning woman and "mastos" meaning breasts. It refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males. Although there may be many “causes”, most cases are idiopathic (no specific cause). The use of certain medications, drugs, organ dysfunction (kidney or liver), hormonal imbalances etc. may also be causative. Persistence gynecomastia is often best treated with partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area. If the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue liposuction surgery may suffice. If/when the time comes for surgical intervention, please make sure that you seek consultation with board certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you would be pleased with.You may find the attached link, dedicated to gynecomastia concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Puffy Nipples at 16 years of age If you have had "puffy nipples" for more than 2 years, they probably will not go away without surgery. If you decide to have surgery, be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia. Good luck.
