Gynecomastia- Puffy Nipples

I have suffered with Gynecomastia since I hit puberty around the age of 14-15. I have always been very into sport and exercise and never sat indoors. I was always outside; whether this was playing with my friends or going out running/cycling. I had quite bad puppy fat during my early teen years so I guess I just thought the 'moob' look was more from my fat. However, when I lost all this weight my nipples still seemed to stay puffy and really stood out and this is where the psychological effects begun. I have missed out on so much fun such as going to the beach/coast with my friends and going in the sea, going swimming and wearing certain clothes especially white t-shirts as you can just see two bouldering nipples peering through and I had to keep adjusting my top, sometimes wearing an under top just so that no-one could see. It was so uncomfortable but had to be done, I couldn't bear the embarrassment! I even went on a holiday with my family and didn't take my top off once, didn't even go in the pools or in the sea and bearing in mind the heat I'd be sweating buckets and refusing to take my top off (people found it odd). I started going gym and got really toned and built good muscle mass and my body fat was about 10%. I had a six pack and really toned look however, my nipples were just the only thing letting me down, looked really puffy especially after the workout. I couldn't bare it any longer so saved up and paid 3500 to get my glands removed. I went up to Be Cosmetics Surgery Group in London and had a consultation with Dr Nurein himself, he was very helpful and thorough and kind and after this we agreed on a date for my procedure. About 2 months later, here I am lying on an op bed getting the glands removed under local anaesthetic. I was so excited, not nervous at all because I couldn't wait to start a new happy life with this new body and go from there. I am 4 days post op, pain is minimal, swelling is there but not as bad as first day. I'm finding I am very itchy due to the compression vest and around my stitches but I have read that is a normal symptom. I have taken a few photos of pre op and post op, I still think I have puffy nipples but guess that is normal from the swelling and won't see true transition for a few months. I'm going to get in the gym and lose some fat that I have on my chest and stomach and love handles when I am able to after my recovering. I am getting my stitches taken out on saturday so hopefully swelling will have gone down even more by then. Overall, I'm very grateful for Dr Nurein and his team's work, very impressive and very kind, would be sure to recommend to everyone and anyone. If anyone has any questions please ask as I would be happy to answer in regards to gyno & gyno surgery.

Hi guys,
So it’s now day 12 of my post Gynecomastia op. The recovery has been good with no problems so far, minimal pain but a lot of itching due to the compression vest! I’ve been changing the bandages quite regularly and been washing normal but not been allowing soap go in my wounds. This update is just to show you how it’s looking 12 days after and if anyone can tell me their feedback and say if it’s looking normal and if I’m healing well? I’m really happy with the results so far so any feedback will be highly appreciated.

Post 3 month Op, been going gym, working chest. Would like to get some feedback to see what people think, any improvement? Must admit this is straight after a Gym session so nipples are hard. Would appreciate what anyone thinks, do I need to lose more fat off my body? Can still feel hard lump behind both nipples and when they aren’t hard they still have that puffy element look to them
