Im 14% Body fat, but have some extra tissue around my inferior chest. It's quite minor, So I'm not even sure if it is true Gynecomastia. Is this Glandular tissue I am seeing?

Answer: Gynecomastia Glandular tissue feels slightly 'rubbery' whereas fatty tissue feels soft. Please don't depend on your own tactile senses to make the distinction but rather I suggest you see a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in treating gynecomastia. Not all gynecomastia requires surgery but a thorough pertinent history and physical examination is important in your overall assessment. Good luck!

Answer: Do I Have Gynecomastia? Without performing a physical exam it can't be determined if you have breast tissue or just fat. If it doesn't bother you, you do not need to do anything. If it does bother you, be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia. If you have breast tissue and only liposuction is performed, the breast tissue will remain and be even more prominent. Good luck
