Will my puffy nipples ever go away?

Question

Hi, so I'm a girl and currently 15 and I've had puffy nipples since puberty kicked in. They have never caused me pain or discomfort but they do make me very insecure. I was wondering if they will go away and if so, when? Thank you.

Most of the time this will improve as you age :) Sometimes a simple surgical procedure can improve the appearance and decrease the puffiness but you will need to wait a number of years before you consider surgery.We off our patients DIMRS...they are really cool silicone patches that you can place in your bra or bathing suit that naturally adhere to your skin and don't hurt when removing them.They work great and should get you through this tough time.All my Best!Dr B
