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!
