Options for mild case of gynecomastia? (photos)

Question

Generally it is been a concern of mine for many years yet when I asked friends and family to be honest I don't seem to think it's a big deal. I'm about to turn 30 and I have not been taking as great of care of myself because of career and lack of time, to meal prep and work out 5 days a week, as a result my chest is looking kinda saggy. I have seen surgerys look really weird after and not sure I want to cut mass out of my nipple. Considering cool sculpting, but just want opinions.

If you are seeking non surgical options I think that Vanquish which uses RF energy, or UltraShape that uses ultrasound rather than Cool Sculpt would be the best option though all are off FDA usage.

Thank you for your question.Unfortunately, with photos alone it is difficult for me to give a thorough opinion as to how to best correct your #gynecomastia.  It is a good idea to make an in-person consultation with a #BoardCertified #PlasticSurgeon with experience in #male #breast #surgery. The surgeon should
determine if the patient is a suitable #candidate for male breast #reduction by #liposuction or #glandular excision. It is crucial to have a plastic surgeon who
is well-versed in the gynecomastia condition can determine if there is firm
breast tissue beneath the areola that is causing the nipples to project (which
is often the case), and if so, how much of this glandular tissue can be removed
to create a flat appearance.

I think that it is reasonable to remove the small amount of breast tissue present to make the chest contours smooth.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Hello, It is difficult to say without a full assessment. I'd recommend booking a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgery to determine what your best option would be. All the best.

Jeffrey D. Wagner, MD · Answer

You are going to need to see a plastic surgeon for in person consultation.  I don't think cool sculpting is going to be advisable for your concerns.  Liposuction with or without glandular excision will probably be the ticket for you, as best I can tell from your pictures.
