Would gynecomastia and liposculpsure minimize my body fat and breast tissue or should I continue dieting and training? (photos)

Question

Male, 29. 16% body fat. 35kg weight loss with 2 years resistance training. Still not happy with body composition, namely tummy, solid breast tissue and love handles. I am struggling losing the remaining 4-6% body fat and can feel breast tissue that I can't lose with diet and training. My question is: would gynocomastia surgery and liposculpture or a variation of these be necessary to help me achieve my body composition goals (of body builder body) or should I keep training and dieting?

While you have some laxity of the tissues which you are demonstrating in your photo, your contour and shape is very good. You do not have ptosis of the breast hanging over your inframammary fold which is usually the most challenging issue. Yes, you could thin things a little more and perhaps a small gland excision, but it will be gilding the lily; you should think carefully prior to proceeding with anything as the risk/benefit ratio is tight in your case.

Thank you for your query. Gynecomastia and residual pockets of fat  can both be addressed with  gynecomastia surgery and some liposuction. Another issue is loose skin for which a non-surgical skin tightening procedure like Thermitight or Bodytite may be useful. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Gynecomastia and liposuction can address excess breast tissue and localized fat, but a balanced approach with diet and exercise is crucial for overall body fat reduction. Consult with a medical professional to determine the best course of action based on your specific needs and health status.
