Answer: How can I get rid of big nipples? Thank you for the question and picture. I think that you are thinking along the right lines: try healthy diet and exercise first. Afterwards, if you remain concerned, seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Accurate diagnosis would necessitate physical examination. It IS important to differentiate gynecomastia ( excess breast tissue) from lipomastia ( otherwise known as pseudo-gynecomastia or excess adipose tissue of chest wall). Treatment will differ depending on diagnosis. You may find the attached link helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Reducing areolar size You have a significant amount of gynecomastia -- and large areolas as well. They frequently go together.No amount of diet or exercise will reduce your nipples. You do appear a bit overweight and taking down some of that weight will help with your overall health -- but expect very little change in your breasts. Unfortunately, your breasts, abdomen and love handles are the first place to put on fat and the last place to lose fat.The only way to significantly improve your chest is with gynecomastia surgery, which will target the excess tissue specifically and remove it. As the tissue is removed during surgery, the skin will tighten spontaneously and the areolar diameter will also diminish spontaneously -- roughly 20%.Be sure to consult with a plastic surgeon who has demonstrated interest and expertise in gynecomastia surgery.
