I am wondering if what I have is gyno/glandular or if I need to just lose some weight. I have always had “puffy” looking nipples but not sure if surgery would fix it. 29 years old 6’2” 195 lbs. also, is it better to have the surgery with some extra fat or when lean?
Answer: Gynecosmastia You do appear to have a slight bit of glandular tissue. Gynecosmastia surgery can be done with an incision made around the areola to remove the excess tissue and tighten the skin. Losing weight will not result in loss of the tissue. If you would like to be seen by my office, feel free to reach out for a consultation. Smith plastic Surgery 702-838-2455

Answer: Gynecomastia "It's challenging to make a definitive assessment based on the picture. However, given your description of “puffy” nipples, it does suggest the possibility of gynecomastia. The one-stitch gynecomastia technique can effectively sculpt the chest and address the ""puffy"" nipple issue. It's important to note that while losing weight can improve the overall contour of the chest, it typically doesn't change or significantly improve gynecomastia. Surgical intervention is the most definitive solution. Always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a thorough evaluation.

Answer: Gynecomastia inquiry Thanks for submitting your questions and photo! Just based on the photo, you may has a small amount of excess tissue beneath your nipple/areola, which can cause the nipple to appear “puffy.” A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to determine whether you have gynecomastia which may require a reduction surgery to get you the look you desire. The surgery should be done when you are reasonably close to your “goal” weight in order for the surgeon to be able to plan and perform the right amount of liposuction and excision needed. Your plastic surgeon can review this in more detail. Thanks again for reaching out and good luck!

Answer: Gynecomastia or fat? Gynecomastia is enlargement of the breast tissue in a male. Based on your photo and your description it appears you have some gynecomastia. It is treatable with surgery. The reason to do surgery is because you don't like the appearance, otherwise it is safe to leave it there. Surgery is best carried out when a person is at a healthy weight, there is no need to adjust your weight for surgery.

Answer: Male Breast Tissue Puffy nipples and breasts in a male are usually associated with some underlying extra tissue. This extra fullness is typically a mixture of fibrous fatty glandular and it is called gynecomastia. Although weight loss helps to minimize the size, it usually does not resolve the issue. The treatment is surgical and can be very satisfying. Feel free to schedule a consult.
