Answer: Gynecomastia This seems to be glandular Gynecomastia. Removing the breast tissue is the only way to reduce that "puffy" nipple appearance. By making an incision along the bottom or the areola, the breast tissue is removed and some liposuction is done in addition to flatten the overall chest. There are many different financing options nowadays that allow patients to pay the procedure off over time and some companies offer little to no interest. Make sure to consult with a Board certified Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon for your procedure and best of luck to you in the future !

Answer: It appears gynecomastia surgery is warranted If the puffiness is caused by excess glandular/breast tissue, no amount of exercise and dieting can make it go away. Only an excision-based gynecomastia surgery can really address this cosmetic problem.This surgery uses a short incision made precisely at the lower border of the areola, allowing the surgeon to remove the excess breast tissue. Occasionally, a concurrent liposuction is performed to further sculpt the male chest. Good luck and best wishes.

Answer: Can Puffy Nipples be Corrected? Puffy nipples is a form of gynecomastia, unfortunately the only way to treat them is with surgery. Perhaps your parents will help you, otherwise the only non-surgical thing you can do is to wear compression type shirts until you are able to afford surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Gynecomastia Hi 18teen,Thanks for the post and photos. You do have excess tissue under your areola. There isn't a non-surgical option for the treatment of this, especially if one of your goals is going to the beach. If it is only a matter of wearing certain shirts then the only non surgical option is wearing a compression garment underneath. I recomend you consult with board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in this surgery. Most practices offer financing options as well. Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand

Answer: Can anything be done to fix my puffy nipples? Unfortunately there is no non-surgical treatment for gynecomastia, and so it does require a small operation. It is a very embarrassing condition for many males and a lot will go through their whole life feeling self-conscious and thinking that nothing can be done to correct it. My advice would be to research board-certified plastic surgeons in your area who have a lot of experience in this. You will learn more about the expectation of results, cost of surgery, etc. There are financing companies that will allow someone to finance surgery for another individual, and there are other options as well. Even if you end up having to wait until you can save for the surgery yourself, just be patient and comforted in the knowledge that this is very fixable. Best of luck!
