My glandular tissue is lumpy/marbled...is this harder to remove?

[TheOregonKid]

My glandular tissue, based on touch is not like the  round, homogeneous lumps I see removed from most gyno patients in pictures.  It feels lumpy, like hard cottage cheese and surrounds my nipple like a donut with the area directly beneath the nipple seeming almost hollow.  The gyno tissue extends approximately 1 1/2 inches in each direction from the aeriola.  Has anyone had this type of tissue operated on?  Is it harder to remove?  Have any of you suffered from having not all of the tissue not being completely excised because it wasn't completely homogeneous?

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

The real facts are that no-one can tell (including the doctor), simply by feel, as to what you have under the skin.  Gyne can take many forms -- that is the rule, not the exception.  What you have described is no different.

Any experienced gyne surgeon will have no difficulty in treating you.

Mine is like this too.  I am going to see my surgeon on the 29th..so i'll try to update you if i remember!

Mine is also the same. I think its fairly common.

[Dr. Cruise]

Your situation is not the exception, rather it is the norm. Gynecomastia tissue is rarely homogeneous. Typically it is composed of a mix of fatty tissue, glandular tissue, and fibrous tissue. The ratio of these may be different, but all three are usually present.

oh man your case sounds EXACTLY like mine. Couldn't have explained it better. I seen my surgeon today. He said JUST lipo would be the best solution.

I thought mine was only under the nipple/areola, but I was feeling around last night and I felt a fairly big hard lump about an inch to the left of that area.  I've had a mammogram and sonogram and gyne was diagnosed. 

Do guys with gyne describe their tissue as a lump or mass? Is it typically hard or softer? 

Mine is also very painful, and after feeling around on it last night, the entire left breast is even more sore today.
