Good time of the day people.
Been losing fat lately, went from whoppin 92kg or so to 79kg since september. Also made some nice muscle gains during that time. I'm 18 and about 183cm high. I wanted to know if I have gyno, I suspect I have it on my left side and not so much on the right side. Also how bad is it, will further weight loss make it look better, barely visible or do I have to look for a surgery at some point down the road?

Thanks in advance!

Also the shadows on the picture make my body look disfigured as hell, sorry about that :D

Well, here are the best "side" shots I think I've got right now. I think I look leaner on those pictures than I do normally but they should be quite recent.

Your second batch of photos are deceptive because your arms are elevated and therefore distort your chest.

Most guys walk around with their arms at their sides -- and so your first photo is most important.  es, it does appear that you are slender and that you have mild gyne with some asymmetry.  It is doubtful if further weight loss will significantly improve things.

If it bothers you at this stage, then consider a consultation with a gyne specialist to find out about all your options.

Good luck!

Totally agree with Dr. Jacobs both about the photos and the treatment. lateral views with the arms at your side are more valuable. I do take photos with the arms raised also.The reason for the photos with the raised arms is to demonstrate the elasticity of the skin.If the patient's breasts sag with the arms raised the breasts will sag after surgery. Your skin elasticity looks good.

I wouldn't call me "slender", It's probably lightening having effect on those pictures, in my opinion i still got a lot of excess weight to lose.
I'm not that much bothered by it, I think I could mask it pretty well at lower body fat with some different exercise routines for chest region, but I definitely will consult some local gyne specialists later.
I'm not so sure about my skin elasticity either, you see, about the time I hit puberty all I was concerned with is sitting on my posterior in front of my PC which has caused, or at least contributed to me getting some stretch marks around my lower abdomen. :-\
But thank you, you've been of great help to me  :)
