I'm a 27 year old male with very puffy nipples. I know there's surgery that can reduce tissue under the nipples to flatten them. However, when my nipples get erected (e.g. from low temperature) they lose all the soft puffiness, reduce significantly in size, somewhat flatten and become hard. To constantly have them that way, perhaps combined with surgery to make them even more flatten, would be ideal. I know a lot of women get that after breast surgery, could something similar work for me?

Hi Justin,
Thanks for posting these photos with your question. I am not familiar with the surgical technique that has been used for your gynaecomastia surgery, it is not a common one and I am unsure why it was used.

Your pouty or puffy nipples can be treated by a circumferential (Benelli) mastopexy. The reduction of your areolar is necessary to correct the poutiness of your nipples. The problem is that your breast tissue has herniated into your nipples due to weak retaining collagenous...

I have been correcting the areolar breast shape that you have for years, but know of no technique that wouldn't leave you without a circular scar pattern. The scar pattern has to be used, but if you were fortunate the scar may stay narrow and hopefully not spread out at all...
