Puffy Puberty Question

[adam9140]

hi i wanted to know in regards to puffy nipples, if i got them through puberty will they most likely go through puberty or stay with me forever, needing surgery to correct them?

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

Puffy nipples as well as gynecomastia can often appear during puberty.  For many young men, being patient and waiting it out is the answer -- it most often diminishes in size if not vanishes completely.

But for an unfortunate few, it does remain -- and then the best answer is surgery.

It would be worthwhile to wait at least two years or more to give your body a chance to diminish it before you consult with a doctor.
