I am 5"8 - 5"9 and weigh about 232 would I have to lose more weight in order to have the surgery?
In general, the closer you are to your goal weight the better results you will get. As you lose the weight, you will probably lose some of the fullness on your chest as well, which will allow it to contract down a bit better after your procedure. Ultimately this decision is between you and your surgeon, but I think we would all agree at least some weight loss would be a good idea.
My chest is growing, not from bench pressing! Hoping one of the doctors can answer whether male breast enlargement is reversible or is plastic surgery the only answer.
While the majority of gynecomastia is an isolated issue, there are some cases in which gynecomastia is a sign of another underlying issue (testicular issues, hormone imbalance, or even side effects of medication or drugs). You need to first be checked out by either a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, or even a good Internist who knows what to look for.
Assuming there are no other medical issues to be addressed, it is unlikely that true gynecomastia (presence of breast tissue, not just fat) that has been present for a year or more will just go away on its own. There are multiple good options for surgical correction that can give you the results you're looking for. The key is to find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area, sit down and chat with him or her and get a sense of their plan for your procedure.
