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 Thank you for your question and congratulations on seeking a consultation. While your case seems to be on the milder end of the spectrum, your puffy nipple symptoms are certainly a sign of gynecomastia. While it is normal for all men to have some glandular tissue, if you are very lean even a small amount of glandular tissue can lead to a puffy nipple areolar complex and the negative consequences that you are experiencing. The good news is that Gynecomastia surgery can treat this problem with virtually no scars. Removal of the glandular tissue will cause the areola to shrink in size and the nipple to lay more flat. Consider seeking another consultation with a surgeon with extensive experience in gynecomastia surgery. I hope this helps! All the best!

Answer: Puffy Nipples I would suggest getting a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon that has interest and experience with treating gynecomastia. Even if it is a small amount it can be addressed.

Answer: Puffy Nipples Puffy nipples are caused by excess gland. sometimes it can be very small but it's still enough to push through the areola. Sometimes guys who think they only have puffy nipples are surprised to learn they actually have a bit more gynecomastia which extends outward. They are simply not aware of the difference. Regardless, surgery to correct te matter is a quick out patient proceudre with a very short recovery. it is important to choose an experienced gynecomastia surgeon because getting great results cn certainly be "harder than it looks". Good luck.

Answer: Puffy Nipples, Not Gynecomastia Plastic surgeons who don't take care of a lot of gynecomastia are less likely to address the mildest cases, as it sounds like yours may be. Nonetheless, treatment is effective at correcting the puffy nipples with a few warnings. First off, depending on the overall appearance of the chest, simple direct excision of tissue deep to the nipple/areola may or may not be adequate to address the condition. I typically use liposuction as well to help contour fat in the area as well as to provide some re-draping of the skin after the procedure. Even in lean patients, I think this is an important part of the procedure, and without it, one runs the risk of developing a crater in the future if body fat increases significantly. You might want to revisit the problem with a surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia.

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.
