Do I have gyno or is it just that I'm overweight? (Photo)

Question

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

It is impossible to tell by this photo if there is excess glandular tissue or just fat.  The treatments are almost always the same, however.  Liposuction is performed and in most cases part of the gland is excised.  If the gland is not excised and it is a contributing factor you will be left with puffy nipples.  Do see someone experienced.

You would need a physical exam to determine if you have gynecomastia, in any case you do not look like you are very much over weight. You could lose weight and see if your breasts reduce thereby meaning you only have pseudogynecomastia, which means breasts caused by fat only. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia. Good luck!

Dear jack off,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

From the photo it is really hard to tell if you have true gynecomastia.  You do have some extra belly fat but you don't look very overweight.  Best to consult in person with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concerns and determine best approach.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

You should get examined by your primary care doctor or see a board-certified plastic surgeon to assess if you have gynecomastia and if surgery would be helpful. From the photo it does not appear like you have a significant case but exam is required to know for sure.
