Question

left side of my chest is much bigger than the right side.i recently noticed it.is it temoporay or permanent?? how can i solve this problem

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

Asymmetry is common in male breasts.  There is insufficient information in your question to guide therapy.  I suggest submitting photos or scheduling an appointment with a plastic surgeon who performs a lot of gynecomastia surgeries.

Of course, only an in-person consultation can determine the underlying cause of the asymmetry and the possible treatments. Liposuction might be an option if the asymmetry is caused by unwanted fat, while excision-based surgery is required if the problem stems from excess breast tissue.  Ocasionally, these two procedures are combined to achieve the most desired results.Good luck and best wishes.

Jared Troy, MD · Answer

Having some asymmetry is normal. If there is a noticeable difference that bothers you, you should follow up with a local plastic surgeon for a formal evaluation as treatment options will depend on the exam.
