I probably have it, but I am not sure about the times when my nipples shrink. I see sometimes when my nipples shrink in some situations, it seems like I have no fat or gyno at my chest. But when it restores itself my nipples become bigger and they look lighter than they did when they shrink. Is there a way to keep them shrunken? Also, if I work out, and reduce the fat I have at my chest now, will they appear more than before?
Answer: Consult with a Board Certified Surgeon to Confirm Gynecomastia The male breast is composed of glandular tissue and fatty tissue.

Answer: Do I Have Gynecomastia? Hi philanthropist45,Thanks for the post. I recommend that you be evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia. The improvement you are seeing when your nipples and areolas get stimulated is normal. Unfortunately, there is no way to keep them stimulated all the time. In addition, if you have true gynecomastia, then that means you have excess glandular, or breast tissue. Reducing the fat by exercising in this case will not help and as you correctly assume, may make it show more.Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand

Answer: Gynecomastia Pinching your nipples or applying something cold to the area will cause the muscle to contract and diminish the appearance of gynecomastia. I tell some patients if you could tape an ice cube to the nipple areolar area you would be cured. A series of photos would be useful for your evaluation.You should see a surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia.

Answer: Gynecomastia The way the area reacts is completely normal. Pictures of the extent of the problem when you are in a relaxed mode would be very helpful. Sounds like this is borderline for surgery but sometimes removing a small amount of tissue beneath you really can improve the situation. This can be done through a tiny incision in the armpit with no visible scar. Find a board certified plastic surgeon you're comfortable with and I'm sure things will work out well for you. Good luck.
