At the age of 14, I realized that I have a slight male boobs which was quite embarrassing. I am 30 now and i still feel that they are bigger. Hence, I feel ashamed taking my T shirt off in public. Though I am hairy, and it gets kind of camouflaged, but when i wear slightly tight T shirts, my nipples are very prominently visible (pointing). I showed it to a surgeon who said that its not gynaecomestia coz muscle tissues are back there and there is no fat. But its really harming my self confidence.

Answer: Gynecomastia Hello,This is quite common and a large number of men feel the way you do. There are different degrees of severity and what bothers you may not bother another. I recommend that you book another consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon and get a second opinion, or 3rd. Find a Plastic Surgeon who you feel understands your concern and your goals.All the best

Answer: I have gynecomastia & my nipples are pointing which are prominently visible when I wear tight t shirts. Any suggestion? I am sorry to hear about the concerns your chest wall of parents have caused for many years. After viewing your photographs, it does appear that you may have gynecomastia or lipomastia. Accurate diagnosis would necessitate physical examination. It IS important to differentiate gynecomastia ( excess breast tissue) from lipomastia ( otherwise known as pseudo-gynecomastia or excess adipose tissue of chest wall). Treatment will differ depending on diagnosis. My best suggestion: seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. You may find the attached link helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.
