Puffy nipples what cause it, is it estrogen? (photo)

About 200,000 to 3 million cases of #gynecomastia are being reported every single year. According to official statistics, 36% of adult young men and 57% of older #adult men in the United States have this medical condition in one of the four grades. So if you have #breast #enlargement and you feel you're an exception, please understand that 1 in 3 young adult #men and 1 in 2 older adult men are just like you and have breast enlargement."Puffy Nipple Areola Complex" is among the most common forms of gynecomastia. This gland and/or adipose tissue accumulation can be located under the areola or can be slightly extended outside the areola, causing the areola to appear dome shaped.This form of #Gynecomastia can be found in all age groups but is more common in young adults.As each case is different, it is vital that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in male breast surgery. A board-certified plastic surgeon should determine if you are a suitable candidate for male breast reduction by liposuction or glandular excision. It is also crucial to have a plastic surgeon who is well-versed in the gynecomastia condition can determine if there is firm breast tissue beneath the areola that is causing the nipples to project (which is often the case), and if so, how much of this glandular tissue can be removed to create a flat appearance.#PuffyNipple surgery generally takes only an hour or two, and the recovery time is short; sometimes less than a week. There is minimal scarring and the success rate is excellent. Therefore, patients who suffer from "Puffy Nipples", and who view it as an unaesthetic and unpleasant condition, may desire surgical intervention to correct the "puffy nipple" condition. Men who suffer from large #areolas may notice that after breast surgery, the skin of the chest muscles will tighten, causing the areolas to tighten and diminish in size. This is a result of the removal of glandular and/or adipose tissue.

Surgical removal is a reasonable option that produces results.Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds
of body contouring procedures and male breast reductions each year.
Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo
galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hello and thank you for your question.Unfortunately there
is no way to improve the appearance of your breasts without surgery. There are
many possible reasons for male gynecomastia. Masturbation is not one. I

thorough history and examination is performed.Best of luck to you

Your puffy nipples are due to breast gland tissue development. Why this happens to certain men is largely unknown in most cases. This type of areolar gynecomastia can be reduced by an open gynecomastia reduction approach to remove the firm gland tissue and flatten out the nipples.
