Tell me about this,I heard its about 1/4 the price of gyno surgery,this is not meant for people with gyno or severe gyno but with puffy Nipples.

I just want my nipples to be flush,is this something any of you have done?

Nipple reduction surgery only addresses the "nipple"--the prominent thing in the center of the nipple-areola complex.  It doesn't address "puffy" nipples, which really refers to prominent nipple-areola complexes due to gynecomastia tissue under them.  Some patients have large nipples, and making them smaller is a simpler, more superficial operation on the nipple only, not on the deeper tissue, done with straight local anesthesia, and easily accomplished in an office setting, thus further reducing cost.  This approach will NOT correct gynecomastia.

I would agree in that nipple reduction is for the nipple only and does not correct gynecomastia.
