Does anyone else with Gynecomastia also have fat deposits around their hips? Sometimes I would wake up after not working our for a while and have these wide hips along with the sensitive breasts, I feel like I may have an oestrogen imbalance.

Will the medicine which deals with Gynecomastia also prevent me from having fat deposited around my hips? I also feel as if my genitalia growth may have been inhibited by this hormonal imbalance.

There is a condition called Klinefelter's Syndrome, which is associated with female type wide hips, gynecomastia and small size genitalia.  It is a chromosomal abnormality -- you can search wikipedia to find out more about it.  What you have described MAY be Klinefelter's or not -- the definitive diagnosis can only be made with blood testing.  Best to see your endocrinologist.

Whether you have K Syndrome or not, if you should have surgery for your gyne, it will not pre-dispose you to have additional fat deposited on your hips.
