Hello. Years ago, I had lipo. My surgeon told me after the procedure that there was very little glandular tissue and that I had “pseudogynecomastia”. I had concerns cuz my lower chest still had this pointed look, though it was much improved. Two consults said further lipo was unnecessary, and after an exam concluded I’d need a mastopexy. Is this true? It looks much better than it was. However, my lower chest seems to “poke out” still. It’s soft, though. When I lift up my arm, it’s flat.

Answer: Seems like glandular tissue Just seeing your picture ,it seems like you have a significant glandular tissue to classify it as gynecomastia. But ,I can't be sure unless I can palpate it. If you feel, the hard tissue below your nipple its a glandular tissue. If its gynecomastia , you might need liposuction plus land excision. If there is not glandular tissue ,you might need mastectomy with skin excision.

Answer: Recommendation Hello, Based on the photos and information you provided, it looks like you have some breasts tissue left which is so-called gland. Of course, the diagnosis should be made after in-person consultation that the surgeon can actually touch the lump so it is hard to be sure for now through photo consultation. However, considering that the pointy area is right below the nipple and it sticks out in a small circular shape even when you raise your arm, there is a chance you may have actual gynecomastia than "pseudogynecomastia". Please touch the area and feel if it is a bit harder or a bit different than other fat. If it is, you may try follow up appointment and consider revision with pre-areola incision to remove the gland. For more accurate diagnosis, you should have in-person consultation with a surgeon.
