Title: Small Gyno or just fat?
Post by: Jlo on March 10, 2023, 01:06:29 PM
Hello all,

Just curious on your thoughts.  I am 56 years old 6'1 230lbs.  I have only fluctuated about 10lbs over the last 10 years.  My right breast is starting to hang a little over the fold (I think)  in the pictures it might be on the left because of the whole selfie thing but it will be obvious.  I had my testosterone level checked and it was 349 ml/dl.  My breasts have always been a little cone shaped but now are becoming more promenent with the right side growing larger and lower in the last year.  I too find myself slouching and rolling my shoulders forward to lessen the appearance while wearing a t-shirt.

It looks like gyno but it depends whether you can feel buds of true breast tissue behind the nipple. That may be difficult to discern in the very early as there will be a little bit of scar tissue associated with your piercings. Also be awarethat there is always a varying fat content to breasts what ever the size.
It matters little in practice. If you are not suffering pain, soreness or discomfort and are not bothered about them being obvious through the shirts you can let them have them their freedom otherwise a bra is it the risk free, cheap and 100% guaranteed route to comfort as many here will attest.
PS. I like the piercings but I will give that a miss and let the wife supply the stimulation. She is always willing:D

You definitely would look better shape in a bra.
I am even more inclined to say it is definitely gyno

There is definitely something going on with your nipples.  If you aren't wearing a bra, you need to test drive one.  It will smooth your nipples out and actually make them less obvious.  I would start with a pullover leisure or low impact sports bra to get used to it, then you can explore underwires and other styles until you find something that works for you.  Once you try it, you won't go back.

Hi Jlo,

The bad (or maybe good) news is that IMO, I don't think that your breasts will go away without a surgical intervention. If they are bothering you, the best way to deal with them is a bra of some sort. Like Felix mentioned, start off with a pull over bra. A light sports bra is probably a good place to start.

I agree. You need to wear a bra.  Both for appearance and comfort.

Thank you all.  I am eating good and exercising.  Riding the shit out of the Peloton hoping things will tame down a bit.  Can never hurt to lose a little weight.  I do a lot of walking.  Jogging makes my right breast hurt when it bounces.  I heard a good review for the Rhonda Shear AHH bra with removable pads.

Hi , rhonda shear i s very good. I started with them and have about a dozen . but i changed to hook bras because after a shower they are to hard to pull over and weree bunching up. now i just stick with hooks. even after a shower i can still hook and spin and i get a little more support with the sports bras. I now use the hanes g795 and 796 from herroom. Ihope this helps

My nipples look the same as yours. I have to wear padded bras to keep mine from showing through my shirts. Even lined bras won’t cut it. Even non padded sports bras my nipples show through. Frustrating.

I find pull over bras also tend to have the band ride up, which reduces their desirability.

IMO it's gynecomastia. I'd wear a bra. Btw nice nipple piercing.

Some serious nipping out even wearing a heavy top

I would also say try a bra.

Not to be flippant and tell everyone who posts a picture that they need a bra, but because I know first hand that it just feels better to keep everything in place with one.

When I developed breasts as a teen, everyone in school told me I needed a bra. Once I became curious and actually tried one, I had to agree right away that they were right. I have felt my beast when wearing one since.

Thank you all for your replies and kind words.  I am trying the AHH bra with the pads removed. The size is 42b.  Obviously my nipples still show but the bra definitely smooths my chest out and holds them snug.  I attached some photos to compare to my previous ones.

Much, much better!

I also tried the same bra padded and I actually think it looks more natural.  Any thoughts?
Title: Re: Small Gyno or just fat?

I use padded bras for shape and not showing nipples. For some reason I think showing my nipples is way worst then having a little more projection. People really look at me when I have my nipples showing. I am much more confident and comfortable when they don’t show. So light padded bras for me all the time when out and about.

Your nipples are much more noticeable without padding. Neither looks bad.

That bra looks good on you

I actually like the way the padded bra feels.  I would never have guessed.
Title: Re: Small Gyno or just fat?

IMHO the padded bra makes you look bigger under that specific top, but would probably draw less attention than the unpadded one which does show your nipples. Even so, the padded bra doesn't really make you look like there's something unusual going on. As you say, it does look more natural.

My general feeling is that once one tries a bra for their gyno they generally are positive towards wearing one. You just need to take that first step.
