That's all too common with a lot of doctors who don't realize that gland tissue can be mixed with fat such that it won't show up on ultrasound.  Plastic surgeons who look in men's chests every day know that it's impossible to know for sure just how much gland is a component.  I've read so many posts like yours that I believe ultrasound is almost useless for seeing gyne.  If you've got or are developing women's breasts, then you've got gynecomastia... period. The fat/gland ratio has nothing to do with it.  Going to an endocrynologist is a good plan, though, because getting the hormones in balance will fix the problem causing the gyne.  Then you can determine what to do from there.  If you've just started to develop the gyne, then correcting the hormones may make it go away without surgery.  If you've had it for a year or more, then it's probable that you'll need surgery to remove it.

I don't really think a hormone specialist would have any way of telling you the ratio of fat to gland in your chest unless he looked in there during a surgery.   

I'm not a surgeon, but what I'm saying comes from reading several surgeons' posts and articles on the matter. 

Maybe one or more of the surgeons on this site could elaborate with more detailed information or correct me if I'm wrong.

At any rate, I think you need to consult with a gynecomastia-experienced plastic surgeon who's actually looked under the skin of many gynecomastia patients.  That's who will be able to give you meaningful information.
