I have always been skinny fat with little muscle and a belly that protrudes. When I was 10 pounds lighter, my chest area wasn't as pointy as now, just slightly. Will my chest flatten if I reduce my body fat percentage or will this need surgery?
Answer: Do I have gynecomastia? Hi and thanks for your questions and photos. After reviewing your photos, it does seem that you have the typical appearance of gynecomastia (fullness in lower chest, widened areola, projecting nipple), but it is impossible to definitively determine without an exam. Weight gain can certainly contribute to worsening of gynecomastia, but if you had "pointy" nipples prior to your recent weight gain, it is likely that you had/have true gynecomastia.

Answer: Your chest You appear to have mild gynecomastia based on the photos. Weight loss rarely changes breast tissue volume significantly but it's certainly worth a shot. The good news is that this is easily correctable with surgery.

Answer: Do you have gynecomastia? 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.

Answer: Gynecomastia Hi, Thank you for your post. It is likely that once you lose weight your chest will also become flatter. I would try to get down to the weight that you want to be at and make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to review your best options.
