I still have gynecomastia but I have no fat on my body and I've tried everything. Any suggestions? (photos)

The male breast is composed of glandular tissue and fatty tissue. An excess in either type of tissue can cause the chest to take on the look of gynecomastia. Gynecomastia can affect #men of all different body types. There are different types of #gynecomastia. Several common factors can cause gynecomastia including excessive levels of #estrogen, natural #hormone changes, use of recreational drugs or alcohol, medications and their associated side effects, and, various health conditions. Also, there are different types of #gynecomastia. There are different types of #gynecomastia and three types of surgical treatment options available that treat gynecomastia. Smaller procedures can actually be done in the office with light oral sedation. Adolescents frequently do better with a light general #anaesthetic.Twilight or IV sedation are another great choice. All procedures are outpatient either in the office or a certified outpatients surgery facility.The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal #candidate. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will recommend the type best suited for you.

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.

If you have had gynecomastia since age 13, it most likely is not going to go away by itself. I recommend that you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in male breast reduction who will be able to evaluate your condition and explain all of your options. Good luck!

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.

I have treated many patients that are athletic but have gynecomastia. You have glandular tissue that would benefit from removal to give your nipple/areola area a flatter and more normal appearance. It is a routine procedure with easy recovery. I would recommend discussing this with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine the best option in your situation.
