When pinching for the gland I'm not sure if I'm looking for the right thing. I'm order for me to feel something firm I have to pinch inward all the way down to the muscle so I'm confused.

Answer: Gynecomastia You appear to have a mild case of gynecomastia, as you have a projection of tissue at the nipple areola area. You are obviously not overweight, so this is not excess fat causing the projection. You should be able to feel solid tissue just behind the nipple areola area when you pinch gently. Any solid tissue you feel is most likely breast tissue or "gland" as it's sometimes described in forums such as this. If it's been present for a couple of years, chances are it won't go away without surgery.

Answer: Do I have gynecomastia? Thank you for your pictures. The term "gynecomastia" means enlarged male breasts. This can be due to either enlarged breast glands, excess fat, or both. Either way, the treatment involves a simple surgery to remove the excess fat through liposuction with excision of some glandular tissue if necessary. Incisions are small and recovery is quick. After an examination, a plastic surgeon will be able to assess your condition and give you advice on treatment. I hope this helps!
