Sever gynecomastia -how to treat it?
I assume your breasts are large and droopy and therefor you are embarrassed.It is understandable. Your sever condition and your age will make the surgery more challenging, and you need an experienced board certified plastic/gynecomastia surgeon to be involved with this kind of procedure,in order to get the best possible results. Wikipedia is also a good source for information.

Most never feel comfortable taking off their shirt at the beach or at the pool or wearing a snug-fitting shirt. Many use compression vests in an attempt to reduce the unsightly appearance of gynecomastia. Every patient I see feels that it has adversely affected his comfort and confidence in social situations....

Gynecomastia Surgery
Thank you for the question.
Gynecomastia refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males. The diagnosis can be made by physical examination where relatively firm tissue (breast gland tissue) can be differentiated from relatively soft tissue (adipose tissue).
Breast prominence due to excessive adipose tissue is called pseudo-gynecomastia or lipomastia. The differentiation of true gynecomastia from adipose tissue is important because the...

Male Chest Contouring
Surgical treatment of male breast tissue (gynecomastia) is one of the most popular cosmetic operations requested by men. We operate on male breasts of all sizes and shapes. The preferred treatment depends on the size and quality of the breast skin.
If the skin is youthful and has good skin tone then liposuction will almost always yield a good result. It's possible to remove over a pound per side in some cases.
Those with larger breasts may need more than liposuction to remove...

Gynecomastia correction the most rewarding surgery we do in men
Honesly, Gynecomastia correction is the most rewarding surgery we do. The men feel restored to a masculine shape--no longer feeling "less than a man."
In our culture, we expect men to be able to take their shirt off in the locker room, at the beach, or at a pool party. Men with gynecomastia feel sidelined.
Lifechanging is the only way I can describe it, and it is money well spent to improve your body and mind.

Surgery for large male breasts.
Men have many options for the correction of large or droopy breasts. Your best bet is to be evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon great deal of experience in this area. Your plastic surgeon will not only be able to assess the amount of fat that needs to be removed but also the quality of the overlying skin.

Hi.

2) If you have hanging breasts, you may need a scar to remove excess skin. But it doesn't matter. You will be happy, i predict.
3) The kind of male breast reduction that I think you need (with removal of excess skin) is difficult and must be done very skillfully. So get more than one opinion, and ask to see a lot of before and...

Male breast surgery
There are several options to treat male breast enlargement. The treatment options vary due to the amount of breast tissue vs. fatty tissue and the amount of redundant skin that is present. The treatments include liposuction alone or combined with excision, or excisional techniques moving the nipple on a pedicle of tissue( attached) or moving the nipple as a free graft( detaching it completely)

A male breast reduction might be in order.
When you have a problem with excess skin and tissue (fat and/or breast gland) in the breasts, the best way to deal with it is usually to excise the excess.
If the problem is bad enough, then an inverted T or anchor style breast reduction might be recommended.
Rarely is liposuction alone a good choice if you droop as much as you say.
Go in and let an experienced plastic surgeon take a look, and then you'll know what your best options are.
Good luck.
