Insecure about puffy nipples. How can I get rid of them?

Hello,Pardon my guess but if you are a male, then you could be describing something commonly known as Gynecomastia. With changes in hormonal levels during the teen years many boys experience this. The appearance that you see now may continue to change or resolve on it's own.  There are a variety of presentations and some men can have significant breast growth as well. Gynecomastia surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to eliminate excess skin, fat and/or glandular tissue in the chest. It can also reduce puffiness of the nipples and areolae. I recommend that you book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss options. They may need to determine that you have stopped growing and consider that this may resolve somewhat on it's own, before planning surgical intervention.All the best

I appreciate your question.As your breasts grow, so do the nipples and areolas. It is possible to decrease their size, but due to your age its probably better to wait and see how things turn out.Please discuss with your parents and pediatrician as well.The best way to assess and give true advice would an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz
