Im 17 and 6'0" and I weigh 130 lbs. Ive had gyno since I was 13. My physique is excellent, I have a six pack and a decent pec definition. I swim and play water polo for my school so I burn around 2500 calories everyday. Because I play a sport with basically no clothes you can imagine how hard it is for me to deal with gyno. Also because Im so skinny they are very noticeable. I find myself pinching my nipples to make them less puffy but if it is hot they go straight back. Please help!

Answer: Gynecomastia Thanks for the photos. Exercise won't affect the glandular component. At 17, it is still possible that gynecomastia will resolve. However, there is a rather easy solution to it. Surgery can safely remove the glandular tissue. Be sure to chose a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: I still have gynecomastia but I have no fat on my body and I've tried everything. Any suggestions? I am sorry to hear about your concerns regarding breast size/shape. Generally speaking, assuming a young man has achieved a long-term stable weight and there are no “causative agents” involved, surgery may be indicated to treat persistent gynecomastia. It is often best treated with partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue. If the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue alone , then liposuction surgery may suffice. When the time is right, seek consultation with well experienced plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. You may find the attached link helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Gynecomastia, no body fat Hello, if you are already slim then losing additional body weight likely is not going to remove the issue. You could simply wait and see if it resolves over the next few years or seek medical attention to discuss ways to surgically remove excess tissue.
