I am a man with puffy areolas. How can I reduce areola size?

This may only be corrected with surgery. To treat puffy nipples, you may need excision. This would be done by making an incision around the areola to remove excess tissue. This could work for you.However, please see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether this procedure is suitable for you.

To reduce the puffy appearance and size of the areola you can have areola reduction surgery. During this procedure your board certified plastic surgeon will remove excess tissue that causes the puffy appearance. The areola tissue can also be reduced and shaped to be more masculine. This procedure is relatively simple with little to no downtime.

You will be best off seeking consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who, after physical examination and a full communication of your goals, will be able to advise you. Much of what is recommended to you will be based on what your diagnosis is. For example, if your diagnosis is gynecomastia, breast tissue removal and/or liposuction surgery may be indicated. Select your plastic surgeon carefully. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak to previous patients as well.Best wishes.
