    I agree, perhaps building muscles there might make them less noticeable?
    Although it might make them less noticeable, the puffiness will still remain there though.

    If that doesn't work, go and see your GP. A very wide range of cosmetic surgeries are available on the NHS on the grounds that it is effecting your self confidence and your quality of life.
    You would think the NHS would cover something like this, something that cripples your self confidence but no its considered cosmetic surgery and I would have to go private and that's around £4500, I went to the GP yesterday and he wait it for another year and see what happens, nothing has changed in the last 6 years I doubt anything will happen now but that's just how the NHS sees this.

    Anyway I probably gonna spend the summer working out, Ill post some more pictures in the future if there is any significant improvement, for reference for anyone else going through this, apparently its quite a few people something like 1/3 of all men get this through puberty and 10% of that 1/3 have these FOREVER

    It's a shame that these things are subjective and you basically need to convince the local NHS Trust that it's impacting your life so badly that they should fund it. Either way, good luck to you man and I hope things get sorted out eventually for you.
