I am a middle aged man (52); in good shape. My chest has gotten fatter and the skin wraps in a downward fashion (sags). I can also grab the skin/fat? below the armpit area which is extensive. It is as though I need a male breast lift. Is there such a thing? I don't feel anything behind my nipple but that area has gotten fatter too - could is by gynecomastia? Is this a combination of gynecomastia and sagging skin form age? I have never been fat. Can I tighten it through a procedure? Thank you.

Answer: Gynecomastia? It appears from your pictures that you may have an element of true gynecomastia, but some of your shape is due to lipodystrophy (fat). Gllandular tissue and probably will change very little with exercise or weight changes, but fat will. Liposuction may be very helpful in your case. It is not usually a serious medical condition, but if you are concerned about the appearance I would recommend that you seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Gynecomastia I appreciate your concern, but physical exam would be helpful. However, your photo demonstrates possibly mild Gynecomastia which is usually treated by liposuction alone. The scars are small and well hidden. Insurance may or may not cover it, depends on your policy. Check out the link below to an article I wrote about Gynecomastia, as you may find it helpful. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area, good luck!
