Is this gynecomastia? (photos)

Healthy male patients with excess breast tissue or unwanted breast development who have no underlying breast disease.Men who desire improved physical and aesthetic appearance should have realistic expectations based on their condition and the procedure performed. You should meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to be able to get a formal diagnosis and to be able to decide on a course of treatment if necessary.

Thank you for your question and photos!  It is difficult to answer your question without a history and physical examination.  Gynecomastia itself is a benign condition characterized by enlargement of the male breast.  There are several causes to this, and should certainly be ruled out.  In your photos, it does appear that you have some increased size of the tissue within your breast/chest area.A surgical procedure for this condition is certainly your decision and a matter of how concerned you are about the appearance of this area.  I would recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon well-versed in the management of gynecomastia who will examine and assist you in deciding if a gynecomastia procedure to ameliorate your concerns would be the right thing for you.  Given that there are no concerning abnormalities on examination and it is simply gynecomastia, your degree of gynecomastia could likely be treated with liposuction to the area alone.  Weight loss and exercise may be just enough to improve the areas as well.  Best wishes!

thank you for your question and photos.  It is very difficult to tell from the photographs and ultimately a physical examination will be required. My feeling is that you do you have some excess tissue on your chest and the nipple is larger than would be expected.  Thus you probably have "gynecomastia" - the development of female appearing breasts in a man.  If you are bothered by the appearance, then visit a board certified plastic surgeon.
