I'm a 190lbs 6'2 physically active 20 year old male. I've always been in decent shape minus noticeable male breast. Although they aren't an excessive size, they still don't seem to go away although I workout my chest area. Recently, I started researching gynecomastia and am really curios whether I have it. Should I just go to my regular physician at my local doctor office? Below are some pictures of my torso if anyone on here could help or confim.
Answer: Seek a Board Certified Surgeon for Gynecomastia 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 think you are 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.It is imperative you select a plastic surgeon who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with male breast #reduction. Plastic surgeons who have specialized in breast surgery and cosmetic surgery are suitable to perform your procedure. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.Please be advised that each patient is unique and previous results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical procedure, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation.

Answer: Best Doctor to see to Diagnose Gynecomastia?
Your best bet would be to be seen by a board-certified plastic surgeon who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients in your situation. You may find attached link helpful to you as you learn more about the condition and treatment options.
Gynecomastia comes from the Greek meaning "gyne" meaning woman and "mastos" meaning breasts. It refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males. The diagnosis can be made by physical examination where relatively firm tissue (breast gland tissue) can be differentiated from relatively soft tissue (adipose tissue).
Breast prominence due to excessive adipose tissue is called pseudo-gynecomastia or lipomastia. The differentiation of true gynecomastia from adipose tissue is important because the surgical treatment may differ. Usually physical examination by a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon is sufficient to make the diagnosis and to determine the best course of treatment.
I have found that gynecomastia 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, then liposculpture surgery alone may suffice.
Best wishes.

Answer: What Kind of Doctor Could Approve That I Have Gynecomastia?
I would see a plastic surgeon who sees male breast reduction patients frequently. If you do have enlarged breasts, this could be amenable to liposuction to minimize scarring. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: You need to see cosmetic surgeon In general, this condition isn’t serious from a health standpoint. It’s more of a cosmetic problem for most. However, it may trigger some serious psychological turmoil, as most men and boys do not want a feminine look. They may feel a range of negative emotions when they think about their overdeveloped breast tissue. My advice would be to look for a board certified, well experienced & highly rated cosmetic surgeon in your city and visit him / her for a consultation.

Answer: Diagnosing gynecomastia Pseudogynecomastia is excess fat while true gynecomastia is excess glandular tissue. A board certified plastic surgeon can check which you have in a physical examination. Generally, this involves pinching the skin on your chest. Fat is far softer than glandular tissue.
