Is this just body fat or do I have gyno? (photos)

Thank you for your question.It is possible that you have a small amount of glandular or fatty breast tissue.To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.I hope this helps.

Thanks for the photos.  It appears that you have gynecomastia.  Treatment would include excision of the gland.  You should seek out a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation.

Based on your photos alone, it appears that you have a small amount of glandular tissue underneath the areola.  This should respond well to surgical removal.  My preference is to use a perithelial incision, where the scar is hidden within the areola.  This is much less visible than the scar from an incision at the lower edge of the areola.

Great question. Gynecomastia may be composed of both glandular tissue and fat in the breast. The best option may be gynecomastia surgery. Best, DR. Karamanoukian 

An inperson consultation would confirm what this would be howeer I would suspect it's glandular tissue rather than fat, judging from your otherwise muscular structure.

 It looks to me as though the predominance of volume subcutaneously on the chest is breast tissue. Therefore liposuction alone will probably not get a satisfactory result. Excision can be performed with local anesthesia possibly aided by a bit of sedation.

Hi Spudda123,Yes you have gynecomastia. Based on your photo, you have very little body fat elsewhere, and so this is most likely excess glandular, or breast tissue, and likely not fatty tissue. This is an example of "puffy nipple" and would need surgical excision, and not liposuction, to correct. You can see multiple examples of men with the same type of gynecomastia as yourself on my gallery. They do extremely well with surgery.Hope that helps,Dr. Dadvand

I strongly suspect this represents gynecomastia and not fatty tissue. You have a very low body fat percentage and you have a "herniated" appearance only focally located to your nipple-areolar area. This usually represents fibrous gynecomastia. You can confirm this yourself by pitching the area between your thumb and index finger. If it is gynecomastia you will feel a distinct firm mass as apposed to soft non-distinct fatty tissue.

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on the fact that you have very minimal body fat, I would bet that you are dealing with gynecomastia. Of course, direct physical examination will be necessary to know for sure. When the time is right, seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with.

Always i person evaluations better than over internet responses. I think you have breast buds that need removal.
