Do I Have It? is a common question posted here.
Any male mammal typically has some gland in his breast. It is a function of the definition of being a mammal. For almost all, the amount of gland is very small. Gynecomastia comes in different degrees: from a tiny puffy nipple to a massive breasts. It does not take much to interfere with the cut look of a bodybuilder or athlete.
Check out this
Gynecomastia Gallery where you can view before and after pictures of gynecomastia and the changes with surgery. This is in a new slide show format. You can slow down, speed up, and activate a navigation panel. Each image links to pages of further details about that patient, his problem, and his surgery.
Take your time to view the various degrees of male breast enlargement. There are additional Gynecomastia Gallery Links on that page.
"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,
