Do I have gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia? (Photo)

According to official statistics, 36% of adult young men and 57% of older #adult men in the United States have this medical condition in one of the four grades. About 200,000 to 3 million cases of #gynecomastia are being reported every single year. So if you have #breast #enlargement and you feel you're an exception, please understand that 1 in 3 young adult #men and 1 in 2 older adult men are just like you and have breast enlargement. There are three types of surgical treatment options available that treat gynecomastia. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will recommend the type best suited for you. The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal candidate. Weight, and more specifically body mass index (BMI), need to be considered when deciding.Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon in person, is highly suggested in order to determine if you are a surgery candidate and what treatments are best for you.

Hello,Thank you for your question. It looks like you may have a mild case of Gynecomastia and asymmetry, however an in-person exam with a board certified Plastic Surgeon will be the best way to find out. An excess growth of breast tissue cannot be reduced with weight/fat loss. Gynecomastia affects all shapes and sizes of men- slim ones as well. The surgical techniques used to address this can include excision of glandular tissue and liposuction. I recommend that you book your in-person consultation with a Plastic Surgeon who specialises in this procedure and find out about your options.All the best

doesnt make a difference!the treatment is liposuction and gland excisionmake sure you find a good surgeon and get your problem correctedbest of luck

It appears from your pictures that you have true gynecomastia.  If so, this represents glandular tissue and probably will change very little with exercise or weight changes.  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.
