I am a 19 yr old male 5,7". Is there anyway to get rid of puffy nipples without getting surgery? (photos)

I am fit and go to the gym daily and have never taken any supplements or steroids. My chest is in great shape, its just the nipple that bothers me. I am guessing that its not gynecomastia but I could be wrong. I know that surgery is likely recommended, but being in college, it just isn't in the budget. Is there any thing else I can do to make them go down faster or should I just wait to see if they go away on their own. I am very self conscious because they even show through a white t-shirt.

Yours is a common patient concern that I frequently encounter in my practice. The cause of your puffy nipples is an excess accumulation of breast tissue and fat. With gynecomastia surgery, both the fat and the excess breast tissue are removed, allowing your nipples and chest to lie flat. I...
