Question

Emmanuel Mallol Cotes, MD · Answer

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).

Ramin Behmand, MD, FACS · Answer

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,
Dr. B.
