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? I have always wondered if I have gyno or am lacking chest muscle, or need to lose more weight Thank you for the question and pictures. Accurate diagnosis would necessitate physical examination. It IS important to differentiate as uncomfortable as gynecomastia ( excess breast tissue) from lipomastia ( otherwise known as pseudo-gynecomastia or excess adipose tissue of chest wall). Treatment will differ depending on diagnosis.

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: Do I have gynecomastia? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Your pictures appear to demonstrate more of a pseudogynecomastia appearance, but without an in-person evaluation of your tissues it is impossible to tell. Oftentimes there is a small amount of gynecomastia with pseudogynecomastia with most patients benefitting from liposuction and direct glandular excision. See an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation, they can offer you the best treatment option.

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.
