Just fed up

[SvBarber]

Hi there I'm a 36 year old male with Gyne. I have not let it slow my life down. I have two beautiful kids and rather successful. I usually try and wear clothing that is forgiving to my condition such as shirts with wording across my chest or cargo shirts that have two pockets and sometimes I will wear compression vests. I know there's more to life than a flat well shaped chest but I just want to feel normal. About 10 years ago I went to see a plastic surgeon and he suggested liposuction so I got it done with little to no results. A cpl years later I went to see another surgeon and she basically told me there was nothing she could do for me so that really crushed me,i resorted to asking Oprah and a cpl other talk show guru's in hopes that they could help me. Its really starting to affect my sex life,women tell me I'm sexy ,I am attractive however my condition constantly makes me overlook all my other great qualities,I recently resorted to taking Viagra because I'm so disscusted with my condition that its starting to affect my performance I project a lot of confidence in public but inside I'm  screaming! I am going to see another surgeon in the near future,I'm really hoping he can help me. I guess right now I'm just looking for support from friends like yourself that have this condition . Have a great day and thanks for listening

I don't see why a PS would tell tell you there is nothing they can do. I think Liposuction would definitely get rid of the excess tissue you have. if you can feel a hard glandular tissue in your chest then it would need to be excised. For the most part you have a very mild case compare to the rest of us on here, so don't get discouraged.

are you bothered by both sides? looks like only right side hence unilateral mild gyne u agree? sincerely

[George Pope, M.D.]

SVBarber,

It looks like you have a pretty classic case of gynecomastia, but it doesn't look terrible, and I'm sure it could be corrected with the right procedure.  It does look either unilateral, or at least worse on the right side.  I see asymmetry like that pretty often. 

The liposuction you had wasn't successful because you have solid gland tissue that needs to be removed.  You're not overweight, and you're in great physical shape with good pec muscle definition, and you're young, so you should get a really nice result.  My website (see URL below) shows a number of guys about your size, and one in particular with a unilateral situation like yours.

Don't give up hope; this can be fixed!

Totally agree with Dr. Pope.

Your condition can definitely be improved with surgery.  But you will have to do your homework to find a plastic surgeon with sufficient interest and experience in gyne surgery to do the job properly.  You would not want to be disappointed this time around.

I'm going to surprise the surgeons a bit:
while I am a bit more overweight than you, I think you too may benefit from: CARDIO AND PUSH-UPS before deciding on surgery. You do look strong and healthy but.. some good news: it does look like you can definitely lose around 5kg! perhaps 10kg. you are not fat obviously but to improve your condition from average to mild! definitely consider losing around 5kg focusing on making chest flatter - losing a bit from there too. do not lift weights. but rather tone it. think flat!
jog jog jog, eat a bit healthier diet. I am doing the same and will keep the PS here and others updated as promised.
pushups will first work on your arms as chest is stronger. then when arms stronger your chest will start to feel it more. 3 sets of 10 pushups every day! increase by 2 pushups every week. pls post picture in 3 months.. lets talk then. Sincerely, n

Well i think you'd benefit from surgery. It's a shame because you can see the outline of your Abs, and you appear to be in decent shape.

Hang in there! We understand what your going through with the G!

On a positive, looks like you will be a good candidate for surgery if you decide on it because your in shape - should produce a good result
