It does not take much tissue to distort the cut look of someone with low body fat like Bodybuilder with Gynecomastia.  Check out this Gallery of Bodybuilders with Gynecomastia to see more examples.  I sculpt many bodybuilders and most tell me that as they build their muscles, whatever sits on top of the muscle gets pushed further out.  Not all surgeons are comfortable with sculpting someone subtle gynecomastia.

I see many patients from Ireland and the UK with Gynecomastia who prefer my techniques and you can read some of their experiences on that link.

Hope this helps,

I rarely operate on the muscle tissue itself. Most of my sculpture for gynecomastia and male chest ptosis (drooping) are on the tissues over the muscle.  For an unusual case of hanging muscle after major muscle mass loss, I may resuspend the muscle or tighten the fascia covering the muscles.  Another example of operating on the muscle would involve the unusual situation where the muscle has been torn or cut from the chest wall distorting the shape.
