Hi there, Since high school, I've always had an issue where my nipples would be poking through every shirt I wear. The surgeon evaluated me today at the consult and said I was a very minor case, with about 5-10g worth of tissue on each side. Would this surgery help flatten my nipples? Or would this procedure be risky and cause more puffiness than what I currently have due to scar tissue buildup?

Answer: Gynecomastia surgery Dear 0wage1, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Benefits of gynecomastia surgery In my opinion gynecomastia surgery would be beneficial in your case. If your case is truly minor then I would assume your surgeon would be planning on performing liposuction plus a direct excision under the areolas and nipples. The direct excision plus the liposuction should help to flatten out your nipples significantly and I do not think you need to worry about scar tissue making your nipples more prominent
