I'm 18 years old. Is the gynecomastia? Or is this a "normal" chest? (photos)

Thanks for your photos.  The chest area does not look disproportionate to the rest of your body so in my opinion it appears to be within normal limits.

I appreciate your angst, but remember what you have is very common and you are not alone!  Your photos indicate that you do have gynecomastia, but it appear very treatable, possible with just liposuction.  Try diet and exercise first, and then get a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.  Check out the link below to an article I wrote about gynecomastia as it may be helpful. Good luck.

Hi, thank you for the question... what i can see from the photo... it seems to be. You so workout... and you are no overweight. A physical evaluation and some exams should be done.

From the photo it looks like you may have gynecomastia.  Since you are just 18 year of age, this may resolve on its own.  For a more accurate picture, it is always a good idea to be seen by your doctor. 

It is hard for me to tell from the photos.  Sometimes at your age you are going through such hormonal and weight changes that this is a temporary fullness.  Your chest does look full to me. It could be pseudogynecomastia which is an excess of fatty tissue while true gynecomastia is an excess of glandular breast tissue.  See how it looks in a year or so but consider going to a plastic surgeon now to get an opinion.  Seek out someone that does gynecomastia frequently.

Judging by you pictures you do have gynecomastia .How should I choose a surgeon?Selecting a surgeon is as important a choice as the decision to undergo surgery. Choose carefully. The decision is yours. What follows is some advice to assist in making your selection.1. Experience matters. Choosing a surgeon who has performed over one thousand gynecomastia cases increases the likelihood that they have seen a case similar to yours in the past. Selecting a surgeon whose practice is focused on gynecomastia exclusively is also an indicator of experience.2. Results matter. The more before-and-after pictures a surgeon displays, the better. Pay attention not just to the number of pictures, but whether the surgeon is confident enough to show multiple angles of the same patient.3. Reviews matter. Have patients reviewed your surgeon? Did those patients undergo the surgery you are considering?4. Expertise matters. Is your surgeon recognized by the profession as an authority in the field? Are they certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Have they authored books or medical journal articles regarding your surgery?We hope these guidelines are of assistance when you are selecting your surgeon. When undergoing surgery, it is very important to be realistic about your expectations. Past results are not a guarantee of future results. Also, revision surgery tends to be significantly more difficult than initial surgery.
