I have protruding nipples and was wondering what surgery or treatment I can do to have them a normal size
Answer: Correcting Protruding Nipples Thank you very much for your question. Without a photograph, it is difficult to provide much meaningful advice. However, depending on your situation, gynecomastia correction could provide excellent results and resolve your protruding nipples. The procedure may involve liposuction, to eliminate unwanted fatty tissue, or excision to address excess glandular tissue. In many situations, a combination of both techniques will be required. My recommendation is that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, experienced in gynecomastia correction. He/she will perform a physical examination and explain the best options for your unique situation.

Answer: I'm a 38 year old male and have protruding nipples? Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately without a full series of photographs, or an in-person examination it is difficult to offer definite recommendations. If your actual nipple is protruding too much from the level of your areola a reduction can be performed with a small in-office procedure. If the entirety of the nipple and areola are puffy this is normally due to male breast tissue development that requires surgical intervention with to remove the glandular tissue and liposuction to sculpt the remaining chest. Hope this helps.

Answer: Treating Puffy Nipples "Puffy Nipple Areola Complex" is among the most common forms of gynecomastia. This gland and/or adipose tissue accumulation can be located under the areola or can be slightly extended outside the areola, causing the areola to appear dome shaped.This form of #Gynecomastia can be found in all age groups but is more common in young adults.As each case is different, it is vital that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in male breast surgery. The surgeon should determine if you are a suitable candidate for male breast reduction by liposuction or glandular excision. It is also crucial to have a plastic surgeon who is well-versed in the gynecomastia condition can determine if there is firm breast tissue beneath the areola that is causing the nipples to project (which is often the case), and if so, how much of this glandular tissue can be removed to create a flat appearance.#PuffyNipple surgery generally takes only an hour or two, and the recovery time is short; sometimes less than a week. There is minimal scarring and the success rate is excellent. Therefore, patients who suffer from "Puffy Nipples", and who view it as an unaesthetic and unpleasant condition, may desire surgical intervention to correct the "puffy nipple" condition. Men who suffer from large #areolas may notice that after breast surgery, the skin of the chest muscles will tighten, causing the areolas to tighten and diminish in size. This is a result of the removal of glandular and/or adipose tissue.
