Going through puberty - Normal Weight, Chest and yet I have Puffy Nipples, Is it still Gynaecomastia? (photo)

UserF19
Dear Doctor, I believe that I might have gynaecomastia. It is only my nipples which sometimes seem a little puffy yet my chest (breast) is perfectly fine. Since I am currently at the age of 16, is surgery recommended if my case is gynaecomastia? In addition, if it should go away after a while, how long before it does so? Thanks, Any help is greatly appreciated!
