Flattening a puffy, protruding nipple-areola caused by a small amount of glandular tissue.


A puffy or protruding nipple in men is usually caused by a small amount of glandular tissue directly beneath the areola, which pushes it outward, often becoming more noticeable through clothing. Correction removes this localized tissue through a small incision at the edge of the areola.
It is a focused form of gynecomastia surgery for patients whose main concern is the puffiness of the nipple-areola rather than overall chest fullness.
It does not address generalized chest fullness, which may need wider gynecomastia surgery, and does not change areola size on its own unless planned.
You will receive individualized preparation guidance. Whether the concern is localized to the nipple or part of wider fullness is assessed at consultation.
The small amount of glandular tissue beneath the areola is removed through a discreet incision at the areola edge, flattening the contour while preserving the natural look of the nipple-areola.
Mild swelling and tenderness settle over the first weeks. A compression garment may be advised, and chest training is reintroduced gradually.
A flatter, more even nipple-areola contour is achievable. Recurrence is uncommon when the tissue is removed, though significant weight gain or steroid use can affect the chest. The result settles over a couple of months.
All surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are essential.
