I am a 21 year old male and when I was about 13 my right nipple started to become enlarged and when touched you can feel a mass inside. I went to the doctor then and they just said it was gynecomastia and that it would go away. But Im now 21 and its still there, I would like it fixed, any advice would be appreciated,

Answer: Advice For Seeking Gynecomastia Correction at 21? (photo) Judging from your photo, I would recommend liposuction and direct excision of subareolar glandular tissue. Of course you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: The enlarged male breast.
There are three causes of the enlarge breast in a male patient. True gynecomastia is firm glandular tissue underneath the nipple. The only way to remove this is through excision, which can generally be accomplished through a small incision underneath the areola.
Pseudogynecomastia is fatty tissue within the breast . This can usually be treated with liposuction if the patient has good skin tone.
The most common gynecomastia that I see is usually a combination of both and we treat it with a combination of liposuction and direct excision.
I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for an evaluation. He or she will be able to tell you which option may best suit your goals.
Best wishes.
