"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.

Puffy nipples sounds like it could be gynecomastia.  Yes, a good treatment exists.  Surgery can remove the puffiness permanently.  Unfortunately, there are no magic pills to make this go away.  Cost ranges from $5,000 to $8,000.

The puffiness of your nipples can be reduced by targeting the tissue that is adding bulk to the area. This would most likely require excision and it can range greatly in price depending on where you are.

Puffy nipples can be reduced by removing extra breast tissue directly below the areola and nipple. It is often done under local anesthesia as an office procedure. Addtional breast tissue fullness outside of the nipple area is usally removed with liposuction. Exercise will not help this condition. Cost depends on experience of the surgeon, location of the surgery, surgical time,  and type of anesthesia used.

Puffy nipples, is one of the most common forms of gynecomastia and usually forms in adolescent years. This is due to concentrated breast tissue forming under the nipple areola complex and then pushing the nipple out. Male breast reduction surgery is the solution. Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in gynecomastia surgery. Good luck.
