puffy nipples? pics

[inorbit]

Hey,

If you get the dreaded puffy nipples, is it the gland that causes this???  I'm a mild case, and i feel ok when they're not 'puffy' but with being slim they look a little odd, well more odd than being bigger built.

This is when they look ok http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/inorbit/Image066.jpg

really annoys me i have to say, like i said a mild case but looks worse when slim.  I had a medical check up last year not specifically for this but i asked the doctor (it was a private check up) and he said it was gynecomastia and to go and see my GP.  The GP i saw wasn;t that 'caring' and just said no to getting a blood test (had this since teens, 27 now) kinda put me off as it's quite embarrassing.  Going to get it checked out though at some point.

Any advice

Dude, your case is almost exactly like mine.  http://www.gynecomastia.org/smf/index.php/topic,10687.0.html
I am still trying to decide what to do.  I am skeptical because one minute I feel really awesome about my body, but as soon as it's warm my nips puff up and my confidence goes down the drain.  So at times I really want it gone, but then again I think maybe it's not too bad.  Maybe it's just my brain thinking it's worse than what it actually is.  But I don't know, you say you are 27.  I am 21 and I feel like if I don't get it taken care of soon, I just might never bother, especially after 27.  But who knows. 

Take care man

ps.
I've been thinking, I think all of us gyne victims need to basically toughen up, especially milder cases where it is NOT REALLY BAD.  It is all in our brains, and I feel like we can eliminate those malicious thoughts.  I know it is easier said that done, but still, how bad can it be?

"Puffy Nipples" is a common public term for gynecomastia. 

The problem is the the term puffy nipples is a phrase that mean so many different things to so many different people.  Words just do not convey the actual problem very well - images do a little better, but still are not the same as an actual in office evaluation with your doctor.  This Gynecomastia Picture Gallery of Puffy Nipples begins to show some of the various problems patients have called "puffy."

Putting up pictures (using standard views before and after surgery) is one way to discuss what the problem was before surgery and what has happened.   Options depend on what is really going on.

Let us try to look what I mean by the problem of the words only descriptions.  "Large nips", "puffy nipples," "puffed nipples,"  and "puffy nips" are a common terms many give to a problem that extends to the region about the areola.   The nipple is actually the central raised structure inside the pigmented areola.

"Puffed nipples" can be a problem for some that involves long nipples above the areola where nipple reduction alone helps.

"Puffy Nipps" can be a problem behind the areola that can take many forms.  The deformity is usually a varying combination of fat and gland.  The gland can be firm or soft, spread through fat, or be a condensed mass.  There is a thin muscle under the areola skin that can flatten tissue when stimulated. Unfortunately it is impractical to keep stimulating these muscles.

In many of these patients with "puffy nipples," there was no firm tissue under the areola, just fat and soft gland.  Here is one example of puffy nipples in a muscular male.  Here is another example of   puffed nipples.  Here is another patient with puffy nipple gynecomastia.

"Puffy Nipples" can also be a combination of gynecomastia and big nipples.

I prefer my Dynamic Technique that adapts to the problem found during surgery to minimize such issues as residual deformity after surgery.

Hope this helps,
