I think I have gyno but I'm not sure, can you help me out? (Photo)

Thanks so much for your question,

The most common characteristic of gynecomastia is the development of firm lumps or glandular tissue underneath the nipple. These lumps are often tender or sensitive to the touch, especially during puberty or fluctuations in hormone levels. If your nipples appear more pronounced, enlarged, or even more prominent, this could be a sign of gynecomastia. The size of the areola (the darker area around the nipple) might also change.

Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia will help you determine the best course of action based on your specific case.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

I think you would definitely benefit from gynecomastia surgery as you have moderate breast formation. This would involve liposuction and gland excision with fat flap advancement. I would also suggest liposuction of the front bra rolls (side breast/chest wall area) to maximize your result.

Hello Optimistic,

Thank you for being willing to include a photograph. It might be it looks like you have gynecomastia. There may be many reasons for this development and there are a couple of treatment options to improve your situation. I have included a little video that kinda explains how I go about the diagnosis and recommended treatment. Please seek out several consultations from horsed plastic surgeons to weigh your options.

Best wishes!

Gynecomastia sucks! There is no other way to say it. Gyno is usually caused by an excess of breast tissue, excess fat or more commonly a combination of both. Looking at your picture it appears there is definitely excessive fullness of the right chest (less noticeable on the left because your arm is raised). This type of gyno would be mild to moderate and is correctible with liposuction (minimal scarring).

From your photo, it seems evident that you have gynecomastia. Typically, treating gynecomastia involves a combination of directly removing excess breast tissue under the areola and contouring the chest with liposuction. While some patients may only require contouring with liposuction, most will benefit from some level of direct excision of the breast.

Best regards,

Yes, you do have condition know. As gynecomastia. Bilateral reduction of breast and fat tissue using liposuction and, if needed direct gland excision is procedure of choice. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.

Hello dear. In your case, we would do gynecomastia surgery since you have excess skin on your chest. The recovery time is super fast, even the discharge is done the same day.

Hello, thank you for the photos. As I can see from the photo, you have a gynecomastia problem. It can be evaluated with breast ultrasound and then intervened. You can get a much better appearance with this surgery.

There are three tissue variables that determine what the Male chest looks like.
The problem can be skin laxity from weight loss, excess subcutaneous, fat, or gladder breast tissue.
Often it’s a combination of two or all three.
To differentiate which variable is contributing the most it’s important to get a good history.
If you’ve had significant weight loss(more than 30 pounds) then skin laxity may be contributing.
To take skin laxity out of the equation, put the skin and pectoralis muscle under tension by putting your arm straight up in the air like your scratching your upper back.
In the picture, your arm is halfway up.
Try to pull your arm up and back as far as it’ll go then have someone take pictures or look in the mirror.
It’s better to have someone else take pictures or use the timer on your camera.
Avoid taking pictures using mirrors.
If you have excess glandular tissue, it’ll stick out like a golf ball when the skin and pectoralis muscle are under tension.
If everything looks perfect with the skin under tension, the skin laxity is the major component.
If there is overall thickness without a significant bulge under the nipple, then subcutaneous fat maybe the primary Ideology.Most likely skin laxity is contributing and so is subcutaneous fat.
You may have mild gynecomastia, but I think the other variables are contributing significantly. In regards to treatment subcutaneous fat is best removed with liposuction. Glandular breast tissue requires and direct open excision.
Skin laxity is by far the hardest variable to treat.
I’m guessing your weight has fluctuated because it looks like you have slight skin laxity.
You’re also a little chubby, so fat is definitely contributing.
The question of how much glandular tissue is best determined by an examination or you can try what I described above.
It’s much each year to assess the chest with the skin and pectoralis muscle under tension.
You can also visualize yourself how much skin laxity and fat is contributing by watching the change of your chest as you move your arm in a down position.
Gynecomastia will stand out with the skin under tension.
It is absolutely key to differentiate which variables are contributing because it determines the exact outcome from surgical intervention.
If skin is contributing, significantly like those who’ve lost a lot of weight or older men than Liposuction and glandular excision aren’t going to do that much.
Of all the variables skin is the only one we don’t have great treatments for.
A chest lift is kind of brutal and more than most guys want to go through.
Glandular, tissue and subcutaneous fat are pretty easy to treat.
History of weight fluctuations is key in getting an accurate assessment.
