Brief Answer:
Please give the dimensions of nipples / areola

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query, albeit very small and specific.

Seen the picture you have provided, they do look smaller but appear normal. As we see in many patients, this is the normal size in many XXXXXXX males. Please give the diameter in mm (milimeters)

First of all I would like to know about a few things:
- Can say something small only if it is compared with the normal.
- I was just wondering why a male of your age would be really bothered about it, please give valid reasoning so that I can help you more.
- Are the nipples are small or the areola surrounding it also are small as per your opinion?

Till then let me try to explain a few things.
The size of the nipples / areola and for that matter any organ of the body are varied in every individual.
May a times it is decided by the hereditary factors.
In males the function of the nipples and areola are nil- no function at all, hence they may be underdeveloped.

If the nipples are retracted, they may appear small and then can be made normal with protruding massage with the help of skin oil / vaseline and honey. You have to be careful to cause no injury or small cuts during this process. Otherwise there is a chance of infection in the small unseen cracks.

Waiting for your feedback and I hope this part helps you.
Please feel free to ask more queries.

Brief Answer:
Yes, this is an inferiority complex

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for your feedback and opening your mind here.
14 mm is a fine and acceptable diameter.
We see this much in many many patients and in fact smaller in may more.

Since the nipples and areola have no role of any nature in males, this might not have developed further after the age of 12 years.
A normal male gets complete development of the nipples by this time of age of 12 years.

Now can you tell me one thing very frankly :
Is there anything about the nipples to think about , particularly in ''males'' ?
Have they any role in any form in you ?
Is this the thing to have comparison about ?
I have a thought:: I think you have been misinformed by someone like friends about small nipples.

I personally do not think so - as a male and as a Doctor / Surgeon.

So first of all stop thinking about this , and stop comparing about nipples with others.

Yet if you are really serious, get a consultation of the Plastic Surgeon and he can help you more. ( Which again is just going to help you to get a boost-up in better complex in you.

Please give me feedback and be XXXXXXX to discuss anything you think about, so that your misconception goes away.

Have a great day .

Brief Answer:
Honey with Vaseline .

Detailed Answer:
HI XXXXXXX ,
you can certainly try honey with vaseline massage done very lightly, Do not rub in; you have to do in circular way and in stretching fashion. Try this for 6 weeks, you may get some result. Take care to cause no injury. Or the else you will land up in an abscess.


Note: For further inquiries on surgery procedure and its risks or complications book an appointment now
