I am wondering if I look like I have either of the two, and if I do, what specific type? I have thinking about getting surgery done and I am wondering what specific type this is, and how much does it normally cost. I have been self conscious about this for awhile and am finally wanting to do something about it.

Answer: Do I have gynecomastia or lipomastia? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs, and I am sorry that your chest has caused you to be self-conscious. I do see its fullness and agree that surgical intervention would help to improve its contour. Whether it is gynecomastia or pseudo gynecomastia depends on an in-person examination as this will guide treatment. The former typically requires an incision to directly excise the glandular tissue while the former can often be remedied with liposuction alone. Hope this helps.

Answer: Do I have gynecomastia or lipomastia? Thank you for the question and pictures. Accurate diagnosis would necessitate physical examination. It IS important to differentiate gynecomastia ( excess breast tissue) from lipomastia ( otherwise known as pseudo-gynecomastia or excess adipose tissue of chest wall). Treatment will differ depending on diagnosis. In most cases, gynecomastia is treated with resection of the excess breast tissue; peripheral chest liposuction may also be helpful.
