I'm a 20 years old 6'4" mixed latino and black male. I don't workout and have a sedentary lifestyle. When I was a young kid I didn't have man boobs but around 8 or 9 I started packing on weight. New years 2015 I decided to cut out desert, junk food, and any drink other than water. I started at 255 lbs but right now I'm 185-190 lbs. Almost all of the fat on my body is on my chest and stomach.
Answer: Do I have gynecomastia? This is a question that I answer every day from dozens of folks from all over the world. The " appearance of a female like breast in a male" is the definition that I use. You appear to have rounded, small breasts. Your weight is fine. It's all about appearance. You don't have to feel rubbery tissue or have hormone tests to determine if you have gynecomastia. Unfortunately, once it has been around for a year it is not likely to change--weight loss/gain, diet, exercise and medications simply won't change the appearance of gynecomastia. Treatment is the removal of the tissue. Expertly performed, the results are nothing short of life changing. Remember that gynecomastia is a harmless condition to your physical health. The harm comes to your mental health in the way of poor self esteem, anxiety, obsessive compulsive activities and general social withdrawal.

Answer: Gynecomastia First, I want to commend you on taking control of your health and losing the weight. Second, based solely on your photos, you do appear to have gynecomastia. My best advice would be to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to be examined in person and discuss your options. Best of luck.
