I was 100 lbs ever since I was 15, many people said I looked anorexic then about a year later I started to gain massive weight. I stopped gaining weight at about 180 lbs for two years I was overweight and about early/mid 2014 my chest started to look like breast. I wore double shirts everyday until early 2015 when I started to do something about my weight. Now I am 132 lbs and my chest is flat but the puffy nipples are still there.

Answer: Gynecomastia SC How should I choose a surgeon?Selecting a surgeon is as important a choice as the decision to undergo surgery. Choose carefully. The decision is yours. What follows is some advice to assist in making your selection.1. Experience matters. Choosing a surgeon who has performed over one thousand gynecomastia cases increases the likelihood that they have seen a case similar to yours in the past. Selecting a surgeon whose practice is focused on gynecomastia exclusively is also an indicator of experience.2. Results matter. The more before-and-after pictures a surgeon displays, the better. Pay attention not just to the number of pictures, but whether the surgeon is confident enough to show multiple angles of the same patient.3. Reviews matter. Have patients reviewed your surgeon? Did those patients undergo the surgery you are considering?4. Expertise matters. Is your surgeon recognized by the profession as an authority in the field? Are they certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Have they authored books or medical journal articles regarding your surgery?We hope these guidelines are of assistance when you are selecting your surgeon. When undergoing surgery, it is very important to be realistic about your expectations. Past results are not a guarantee of future results. Also, revision surgery tends to be significantly more difficult than initial surgery.

Answer: Puffy nipples Thank you for your question. There is a chance that there is still fat in your chest area even if you have lost weight, but if breast tissue formed there as well, the only way to remove it would be by breast reduction surgery performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. All the best,Dr. JSB
