I am a 34 year old male. I have had enlarged breasts since puberty; they feel like lumps underneath both nipples. This problem has been causing me distress because the bumps are visible when I have clothing on. I am seeing a surgeon next week since I suppose the only option is surgical excision of the glands. I am interested in knowing your opinion about possible options and the extent of the problem based on what the pictures show.

Answer: Gynecomastia Yes, it looks as though you have mild gynecomastia.Of course a good exam is really needed to confirm it. Surgical correction done by a good experienced gynecomastia surgeon is generally quick, with an easy recovery, and leaves you with a permanent smotth correction. I would advise going to get some real consultations if you want to be done with it once and for all. Good luck.

Answer: Gynecomastia Surgery Hello, and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) Based on your photos, gynecomastia surgery may be a good option to create a more masculine-looking chest through only a few small incisions. If you decide to pursue surgery it’s very important that you find a surgeon whom you are comfortable with and trust and who evaluates you in-person and tailors an individualized treatment plan for you and your aesthetic goals. Best of luck! Matthew A. DelMauro, M.D
