...can i get rid of it by having hormone pills? or is it possible to make it flat by gym work out? 

i didn't see the pics but will take myman237's word for it.  hormone pills probably won't help for two reasons:  one, assuming for a moment that in your case some denser tissue has developed (as a guess), then an absence of hormones probably won't make it just dissolve, though a really light case might improve.  working out usually makes it more prominent instead of less unless you're targeting the area above it specifically.  so you probably want to see a competent ps, but not everyone who's done the op is that competent, it'll help to see before and after pics.  welcome to the site.

Hi xelnaga13, I'm not really sure the tissue is consider firm or not   
what if firmed? or what if not?
thanks for your reply 

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

It really doesn't make a difference if the tissue feels firm or not.  It is the existence of excess tissue on a male chest that defines gynecomastia.

Fat can be firm or soft and the same is true for breast tissue.

Therefore, I do not quite understand why so many guys on this forum are constantly feeling their chest in a vain attempt to discern what they have.  If you have any excess tissue, you have, by definition, gynecomastia.  It may be small or large, you may want to live with it or not, but it is gynecomastia.

And yes, you do have a mild case of gynecomastia.

Thanks for the information! but so sad to know about that i had a mind case of gynecomastia  >.<
Is there any doctor is recommended in singapore? I'd read some of others case, about Dr KC Tan? (if i remember the name correctly)
Btw, if an operation is needed, for my case i need to stay overnight at hospital too? and can i work on the next day or 2 days later?
Thanks

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

Sorry, do not know of any particular gyne surgeons in your area.

Oftentimes the surgery is performed on an out-patient basis -- but some surgeons and in some countries, an overnight hospital stay may be necessary.

One can frequently return to sedentary-type work within 2-3 days after surgery -- would not return to heavy duty manual labor for at least several weeks, however.
