I have a mild case of gynecomastia, my nipples are puffy, and i can feel the lumps, i used to have a very low body fat and i could still feel and see it. I went to a surgeon, and he could feel the lumps,he aslo sent me to do an ultrasound, on the ultrasound the doctor looked for lumps not gyno, and he said i dont have lumps, but I am not insane, i can feel the lumps and the puffines, and when i wear tight shirts you can clearly see it, but i feel like ultrasound is the final call, is it? I am 25 years old 160 lbs,.

Answer: Puffy Nipples It looks like you have mild gynecomastia. The gland should be removed but you also might benefit from having an areola reduction either at the same time or as a delayed procedure. Go get a real consult.

Answer: Can breast tissue gynecomastia always visible under ultrasound? Do I have gynecomastia? I am sorry to hear about your concerns regarding breast size/shape. I would suggest that you do not worry too much about the ultrasound… I think that you are correct and are dealing with a mild case of gynecomastia. Generally speaking, assuming a young man has achieved a long-term stable weight and there are no “causative agents” involved, surgery may be indicated to treat persistent gynecomastia. It is often best treated with partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area. If the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue alone , then liposuction surgery may suffice. When the time is right, seek consultation with well experienced plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. You may find the attached link helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Gynecomastia You are correct in that the ultrasound was looking for abnormal breast tissue (solid masses, cysts, etc.) while what you describe as breast tissue in small amounts under your nipples is abnormal in a male, it doesn't mean that the breast tissue itself is abnormal. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and assess if this is indeed breast tissue. I find that men with small amounts of breast tissue like you describe are often candidates for resection under local anesthetic. I hope this helps! Best of luck.
