I am 25 year old male. From last 10 years I have long puffy nipples (see pictures). Firstly I thought that it's because of hormone change. But now as I am 25, I think that it's a permanent. Seriously speaking it feels good when I touch them and play with them and there is no pain at all. But I am confused whether it's normal or not. Physically I am fit, doing regular exercise and healthy with no fat at all on my chest. So, what is the reason of long puffy nipples? Please help. Thanks.

Answer: Enlarged male nipples Yes, you have rather large nipples for a male -- but it is of no medical concern. It may have a personal concern for you, such as when you wear a snug T-Shirt,etc. If it is bothersome to you, then a relatively quick surgical procedure can be performed under local anesthesia to reduce the size of the nipples. You can view some examples of this on my website photo gallery captioned below. There are no non-surgical methods to reduce the size of the nipples.Elliot W. Jacobs, MD, FACSNew York City

Answer: Nipple Reduction From the pictures you posted, it appears that your nipples are within the range of normal. If you have not had any symptoms of something outside the realm of normal (such as enlarging, tenderness, discharge) this would also support that they are simply on the large end of normal. Nipple reduction can be easily done in the office under local, if you desired a cosmetic correction of this. I would recommend visiting a board certified general or plastic surgeon for a consultation if you are bothered by the appearance of your nipples and would like a procedure to improve them.
