Yes, surgery is the only solution for you.  I will bet that you also have a fair amount of excess tissue in the surrounding areas of your chest.

You should absolutely seek a gyne specialist for this surgery -- it can be very tricky to remove just enough tissue to flatten the areolas but not too much so as to produce a crater deformity.  Do your homework and if need be, considerable traveling for the appropriate expertise.

Good luck!

Yes you have mild gynecomastia. Surgery should be very successful. Take your time in selecting your surgeon and do your homework. Good luck.

Yes, you have gynecomastia. Go get some opinions by experienced surgeons who can give you the straight scoop.

well i went to like 5 experts in my country  and they all tell me no gyno and nothing possible to do .. and i hate this to pay or consultation so much money and get no answer for my problem (i think this their opinion about my gyno is always no because my chest looks really good .. except those nipples)

Yesterday i went to some expert out of my town that also told i dont have gyno or at least that i dont need the tisue removal all they need is to sew my nipples somehow to my chest so they will look like normal.. what do you think about this option?

There is a difference between surgeons who are experienced in gyne surgery -- a consult with one of them could yield a different opinion.

As to sewing the areola down? Not a good option!!!!!

All of the photos I've seen strongly suggest to me that you have gynecomastia.

If you were to be examined by an experienced gyne surgeon, I would give odds that there is additional tissue surrounding your puffy nipples -- that is the most common situation.

In these situations, it is extremely difficult to treat just puffy nipples alone -- the results often are not satisfactory.

When I am confronted by such a situation, I prefer to treat the patient completely -- treating the puffy nipples and the remaining excess tissues together -- in order to get the very best possible result.

When and if I meet a patient who insists on my doing surgery "only his way", I usually show him the door.
