i had a consult with a plastic surgeon yesterday and he said that the gland under my nipples is very small. And that evey man has a little bit of gland and its not gynecomastia. You cant feel it unless i contract my muscles. And its about the size of the peanut. But its still the cause for my puffy nipples, because i have no fat. So i dont know what to do. Isit still gynecomastia but just a very mild case. and i need to only have a very small amount removed. Ive had it for 6 years now.

Answer: Puffy nipples Gynecomastia is a spectrum and not a single condition. It is not unusual to get a puffy nipple which is called a grade 1. The solution is open excision and the scars tend to heal very well for this type of gynecomastia. Please see an experienced Plastic Surgeon who has a specialist interest in gynecomastia.

Answer: Correction of Puffy Nipples Thank you for your question. I dedicate a large portion of my plastic surgery practice to the treatment of male chest concerns and gynecomastia. From your description of "puffy nipples", it sounds like you may actually have some degree of gynecomastia. My preference in treating many patients with "puffy nipples" is a minimal-incision approach that will remove the gynecomastic/"glandular" tissue thru a tiny "puncture" incision. Many patients have "something" they feel under the nipple as you describe. This causes the nipple to be "puffy" and more protuberant. I recommend a small incision approach and removal of this tissue. This allows the nipple to settle back naturally, shrink in diameter to some degree typically without full incisions around the areolae, and it allows the nipple to become flatter in an easy outpatient or even office-based procedure. I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
