Can I get rid of gynecomastia without surgery? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. From the information you provided, it seems that the increase in your chest size is due to weight gain over the past year. Before considering gynecomastia surgery, I recommend trying to drop the weight you put on. However, if you are truly concerned about the possibility of having gynecomastia, consult with a gynecomastia surgeon near you. He/she will check your chest to see if you have true gynecomastia.

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. According to official statistics, 36% of adult young men and 57% of older #adult men in the United States have this medical condition in one of the four grades. About 200,000 to 3 million cases of #gynecomastia are being reported every single year. So if you have #breast #enlargement and you feel you're an exception, please understand that 1 in 3 young adult #men and 1 in 2 older adult men are just like you and have breast enlargement. 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.

 In my opinion, the only reliable (and most effective) management of persistent gynecomastia involves surgical excision. It is often best treated with  partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue  as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area.  If the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue (lipomastia), then liposuction surgery may suffice.
 When the time is right, seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients achieve the types of outcomes you will be pleased with.   Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. It appears that you have #gynecomastia tissue requiring surgery. The only treatment is surgical involving direct excision of the gland and possible liposuction. Seek a plastic surgeon with specialty training in male breast reduction, who has great photos, and is an expert in the field. #malebreastreduction

 Sounds like you've answered your own question. If there was no problem at the lower weight and then two years later with weight gain it was there, it seems logical to try to drop that weight. I would definitely  make every effort on your own before consulting for surgery. If it does come to that make sure you seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon that does this operation on a regular basis.
