Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster!

I've had confidence issues with my chest for a looooooong time, and now I'm thinking about surgery, but wanted to make sure that what i have is actually Gyno, and not just stubborn fat.

Would i need a consultation with a surgeon to find out for certain?

Any advice appreciated - Cheers! :)

Unfortunately, it does seem like you do have some gland as well as fat. Just book a consultation and your surgeon will tell everything for sure:)

Yes, you do have excess tissue on your chest, which is the definition of gynecomastia.  It is most likely a combination of fat and gland.  If you think it is only "stubborn fat" then hit the gym and diet like crazy for a year -- and then look at the results.  My bet is that you will then be convinced that only surgery will permanently get rid of your problem.

Good luck!
