I just require clarity. I go to the gym quite frequently in aims to lose weight and reduce my body fat as well as build mass, I workout constantly. I'd like to know the best solutions behind my problem, is this simply a case of me needing to continue to lose fat or is this gynecomastia? I'm currently 205 and trying to get down to around 170-180lbs before I even consider going under the knife though. Thank you
Answer: Hello, I believe I have really bad Gynecomastia and would like to understand the severity of the situation and solutions if poss Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Though nothing replaces an in-person examination it does appear that you are suffering with a higher grade of gynecomastia, with excess glandular tissue and skin. I do not think that any additional weight loss or working out will correct this. I would recommend reaching your goal weight, but only surgery will ultimately correct the tissue excess. Be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation.

Answer: Gynecomastia Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. You do appear to have Gynecomastia and solutions could involve glandular tissue excision and well as repositioning areolas/lift. Gynecomastia affects all shapes and sizes of men- even those who are slim and in great shape. Further weight loss or exercise will not resolve this. I recommend that you book an in-person consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has plenty of experience in this procedure and find out what your options for treatment are. All the best

Answer: Gynecomastia It appears from your pictures that you have true gynecomastia, asymmetric, and with relatively severe droop or ptosis. This represents glandular tissue and probably will change very little with exercise or weight changes. It is not usually a serious medical condition, but if you are concerned about the appearance I would recommend that you seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, as surgery will be necessary to masculine the appearance of your chest.
