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 The best way to tell would be by booking an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. It is hard to say without a physical examination. Some men have a build up of more glandular tissue, some of more fat, and some a combination of both. If it turns out you do have gynecomastia, it looks as though it would be a mild case. You would still have to remove any excess gland or fat surgically, but in experienced hands the procedure is simple and results in minimal to almost imperceptible scarring.

Answer: Gynecomastia Surgery Thank you for your questions and photos. It seems that you may have a mild case of gynecomastia. In most cases of patients with mild gynecomastia using smart liposuction can simply allow your surgeon to remove your breast gland, depending on dense the breast gland is. In order to best determine best surgical approach for you I suggest you set up a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and having full consult with examination. Best of Luck to you.

Answer: Mild gynecomastia Gynecomastia comes in many varieties. Many times it is mild but it can really hold guys back who are trying to look their best. Mild gynecomastia basically hides the lower border of the pectoralis muscle and causes some excessive fullness beneat the nipple area. This can usually be fixed very easily and excellent results should be expected. good luck.

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
