Are Puffy Nipples a Form of Gynecomastia? | Gynecomastia Surgery Raleigh

Are puffy nipples a form of gynecomastia and how should they best be treated? The term puffy nipples refers to pure glandular gynecomastia meaning there's an excess of breast tissue directly behind the areola. without a proliferation of fatty tissue making the entire chest area look full and feminized puffy nipples would probably better be referred to as puffy areolas because it really is the entire areola that is somewhat conical or convex in shape it projects outward from the chest and calls attention to itself puffy nipples are best treated by surgical excision through in scars or incisions placed right at the border of the areola one can make a fairly long curvilinear a real or border incision along the bottom of the areola and directly excise the entire mass or one can make limited incisions on either side and use what is called the pull through technique which is essentially a piecemeal excision of the excess tissue treatment of puffy nipples really is a just right kind of surgery one needs to remove just enough tissue to create a cosmetic improvement and eliminate the appearance of puffy nipples but not so much tissue that you leave a concave or conical or even scarred appearance to the areolar surface i prefer to use a technique that involves small incisions on either side of the areola through which a piecemeal excision of the tissue excess is performed i think this leaves smaller fainter scars a more normal appearance and has a much lower likelihood of scar retraction which can be obvious and disfiguring make sure that you see a surgeon who is board certified and who is experienced in treatment of puffy nipples and who can show you several examples of before and after photos of patients with this problem. https://www.michaellawmd.com/gynecoma...
