Can you guys tell me if this looks like gynecomastia?  My doctor said no but from all the research that I've done, I'm pretty sure it is.  I first noticed it a few years ago in high school because there was always this excess flab on my chest even though I had really low body fat(I've gained weight since then).  I'm 19 and considering surgery within the next year or so; in fact, I have a consultation scheduled with Dr. Jacobs in a few months.

looks like mine did pre-op. Dr Jacobs sounds like a good choice from what I can gather...
