Hello, I have always been unhappy with the way that my chest has looked and now that I am reflecting back, I have realized that even when I am in pretty good shape, my chest looks kind of flabby and my nipples are puffy. Because of this, I am suspecting that I may have glandular gynecomastia. Based on the pictures shown below do you think that this is the case? Or is it simply fat and I should work out more/get coolsculpting? Thanks,

Answer: Gynecomastia? As thin as you are I do not feel you will resolve your issue with diet and exercise alone. I do a lot of gynecomastia surgery and always start with liposuction that gets rid of all or most of the fullness. After the liposuction, if I still feel excess tissue I open under the aerola edge and excise the tissue which I have to do about 50% of the time. See a plastic surgeon who does a lot of gynecomastia work. Good luck.

Answer: Liposuction will help Thanks for your question.You can work out some more but I think you will still maintain that puffiness in the area around the areolas. You would benefit from liposuction alone and this may well settle the problem. You could consider liposculpting with promeltor/vaser/ coolsculpting but this might not be requireed. It depends on your skin laxity and how much the skin will retract following liposuction alone. I think if you did go down the route of liposuction with skin tightening, this would really enhance the result you are trying to achieve.The final thing to bear in mind, with any form of liposuction, is the possibility that the skin will not retract back and will hang loosely. If this is the case then you would need surgery to remove that extra skin. I hope that is helpful for youBW
