You have an average amount of gynecomastia. I always like my patients to be at an optimal weight for general health reasons. But if you eat well and exercise and this is where you are at, I would not worry about more weight loss. If you have firm nodules under your nipples, these will not vary with weight loss, but if most of your bulk is due to diffuse fattiness, then weight loss might help.

So a couple points related to your question on gynecomastia. First the pictures are a huge help, and yes with most body contouring procedures it's always better to be closer to your goal body weight. Loosing 50 pounds may be tough, but loosing 25 might be realistic and surgery can be a good motivating carrot. You do look like you have typical gynecomastia which is partly fatty deposits in the breast and partly stiffer glandular tissue under the nipple area. Especially if you had that breast shape when you were much lighter it's not going to completely vanish with just weight loss. In my experience you are best served by liposuction, and some direct glandular excision through a small incision at the lower half of the areola. Pricing in your area will be all over the map for every surgeon will determine what they think the time and expertise to fix the issue should cost. Hope that helps and good luck moving forward

It always helps to get to an optimum weight prior to any type of cosmetic surgery, and specifically with gynecomastia surgery, your chest will look different if/when you lose a good amount of weight. You would be wise to drop your weight and re-evaluate your chest appearance. You may still need the surgery, but you'll have a much better result.
Hope this helps.
