I have had puffy nipples/gyno ever since i hit puberty, i was very overweight troughout my teenage years peaking at 104 kilograms last summer. I have always been ashamed of my body and i never felt comfortable so decided things had to change. I started working out rougly 4-5 days a week, doing cardio mainly and in between doing sets of 3x20 on every machine they had (about 20 different workouts). Combined with eating healthy i lost weight, and i lost it fast.
But what i didnt loose are my moobs/puffynipples/gyno? I have stopped going to the gym for about 8 months now but i still eat healthy and do a wide variety of push ups to target my pecs in the hope that it will tone down. But no result so far.
I even went to the hospital a while back and had EVERYTHING checked, had tons of different blood tests, hormone tests, testosterone check and i even had a mammogram to try and spot any tissue. But NOTHING could be found, the doctors said it was just fat and that it was very normal.
Well, as i said, ever since i was 12 ive been picked on at school by the girls, stopped swimming with my friends, stopped wearing t-shirts (walking around with a sweater or a thick flannel shirt in the middle of the summer). I have basically isolated myself, and no one knows about it. Not even my ex-girlfriend of 5 years. these 5 years, every time we had sex, i either kept my shirt on, or made sure the lights where turned off.
Its just horrible, i have a feeling im missing out on so many things, im 20 years old now and the last time i have taken my shirt of in public, or even wore a simple t-shirt has been over 8 years ago. I just want to get rid of it, id give anything for it.
So ive come to the point where im considering surgery, im 20 years old, im a poor student, but i work hard, and if necessary i can cough up 1-2k euro's for it. I just really have no idea where to start? what to look for, what to avoid?
I would love your advice guys, i have been reading this forum for a few weeks now and it has been very supportive already, reading all of your stories. (btw my nipples tend to be even more puffy then shown on these pictures sometimes, depends on the temperature)
cheers
