How to Get Rid of Puffy Nipples?

The correction of puffy nipples depends on the underlying cause. If it is due to gland over development then you could consider an off license trial of tamoxifen or letrozole. However, if it involves fatty tissue, you will need some form of liposuction which can be done under local anaesthetic.

It's hard to answer for certain without a proper consult, but it sounds like your problem is excess tissue under the nipple which can be surgically removed. Of course you should schedule a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to be sure you receive the correct treatment for your issue. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question.  Generally in gynecomastia, the large nipples are a result of the glandular and fatty tissue that is behind the areola.  When those are removed, the nipples shrink in size, and become flat.  This can be done with almost invisible scars.  Best to speak to a board certified plastic surgeon in person for an in person consultation.  All the best, 

Thank you for your question. It seems you have a mild case of gynecomastia. Unfortunately, there is not medical treatment for gynecomastia if it hasn't resolved on its own after puberty. Using a small incision around the areola, the gland can be removed, correcting the puffy nipples that concern you. It is a fairly quick procedure with exceptional patient satisfaction afterwards. Hope this helps.

Puffy nipples are a form of gynecomastia that usually develop during puberty. If they haven't resolved by themselves after 2 years, they are probably permanent and can only be treated by surgery. See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia for a personal consultation to learn what options may be available to you. Good luck.

You have gynecomasia or male breast enlargement. You will require liposuction and open excision in order to remove the gland. Ensure that you see a Plastic surgeon experienced in dealing with this problem. Best of Luck.

Puffy nipples are frequently the main thing that guys see when they have gynecomastia. Sometimes that's the extent of it but usually it's just the tip of the iceberg. Gynecomastia is breast enlargement that develops in guys. It usually starts in puberty and never really goes away. usually there is no underlying cause. The only real uccessful treatment is surgery. This removes the glandular tissue and some of the surrounding fat if present. Surgery is usually very succeful, with an easy recovery, and it won't come back. The surgery is sometimes more difficult than many think so it is important to choose a surgeon that does this surgery regularly. Take your time and good luck.

Thank you for your question.  From your description, it sounds like you may have post-pubertal gynecomastia which is quite common.   As a plastic surgeon, I am not aware of any medical treatments that "fix this"; however, you may want to consider visiting with an endocrinologist and ask he or she if there are any possible medical treatments for gynecomastia.  There are a number of medications, vitamins/supplements, hormones, etc. that can accentuate and exacerbate the amount and degree of gynecomastia in general.  I would also recommend visiting one or several board-certified plastic surgeons that specialize in gynecomastia surgery or who dedicate a significant portion of his or her practice to this so that you can find out what your options are at some point.  In my practice, I prefer a minimal-incision approach to gynecomastia sometimes referred to as the "pull through" excision approach which I believe gives the best shape and flatness to the chest with the least amount of incision and recovery.  I hope this is helpful. Good luck!

Thank you for your question regarding puffy nipples. Puffy nipples are probably due to gynecomastia and could also be due to localized fat underneath the nipples. I would suggest VASER liposuction. The VASER liposuction helps to melt breast tissue and achieve a flat chest. As opposed to regular liposuction, is the VASER is far superior for the permanent elimination of dense breast tissue commonly associated with puffy nipples. Please seek a board certified, experienced plastic surgeon for male breast reduction with VASER liposuction. If you have any questions about male breast reduction, please feel free to contact my office.

Glandular gynecomastia is best treated with gland excision. Incision is done at the junction of the pigmented areola and normal skin.  This will treat the puffy nipples/areola you are referring to.
