Gynecomastia , can cause puffy nipples due to increase in the amount of breast tissue under the nipple. Normally we do not remove the nipples, rather we work under the nipple through and incision around the areola. Breast tissue removal with or without liposuction is very effective in achieving a normal appearance of the breast.

Puffy nipples are very common and are only caused by breast tissue directly under the nipple and pushing it out.

Do not be discouraged. Although you had prior surgery and there is scar tissue present, your situation can most likely be improved. Lebowitz is well-versed in gynecomastia and can determine if there is firm breast tissue beneath the areola that is causing the nipples to project which is often the case , and if so, how much of this glandular tissue can be removed to create a flat appearance.

Incision visibility is less of an issue with Type 1 Gynecomastia - Puffy Nipples - compared to the other types. Puffy nipples surgical results typically leave no visible scarring. Type 1 patients do not have much to worry about extra incisions as their skin is already tight. Their incision will be limited to around the areola. There are some Type 1's that have very low nipples. In these patients, nipple elevation is usually required to prevent the nipple from "falling off the pectoralis border".
If this happens, the nipple falls into the chest fold and it looks like it is "cratered". Clearly, not desirable. This requires a superior areola incision which is slightly more visible but still not an issue. This does several good things beyond tightening the chest skin. More importantly, it pulls the areola tight similar to getting the wrinkles out of a bed sheet.
This little maneuver has a large impact in getting rid of excess skin that has been stretched over time. It also flattens the lower chest skin mildly so that it better wraps around the pec. The incision is located low on the areola where it is very hard to see even early on. Crescent incisions, however, create skin margins that do not line up exactly.
The side toward the areola will always be shorter than its counterpart. Suturing together this length mismatch may create mild bunching that takes a little while to fade away.

The Internet becomes the only one they can talk to. This dangerous combination of deep emotional pain and isolation makes them particularly vulnerable to exploitation. Exploitation that takes the form of the literally thousands of "miracle" cures that have no medical merit to the more nefarious types looking to take advantage of the the emotionally weak. I felt embarrassed having an femininely shaped chest.
I didn't feel masculine and it caused me great anguish. I avoided situations that required me to take my shirt off, like swimming. I would hunch my shoulders so that my shirt would drape over my chest, because I was afraid other people would notice my chest.
A friend of mine told me I had man-boobs and I immediately realized that other people noticed what I had seen all along. I immediately felt embarrassed and wanted to disappear.
