Pretty Sure its not just Fat NOW!

[zado611]

After losing 60 lbs, my moobs were still there. Now at the start I thought it was just fat. The other day I'm looking in the mirror, and there is alot of fat that won't budge by my weight loss efforts, but I see a little protusion(the kind you see on here in alot of the gyne cases) that protrudes from the fat part, so i feel around it and it feels clumpy behind the nipple. Could this be a sign of something more than just fat? I believe so, but my parents would never believe me sadly!

When you are heavy, your gyne consists of breast tissue and fat, in varying proportions.

when you lose a lot of weight, the fat component of the breast will diminish -- but not the breast tissue itself.  Net result is that the entire breast will become somewhat smaller, but the breast tissue itself will remain and perhaps be more condensed, since the intervening fat has diminished.

Usually, the only treatment for residual gyne after weight loss will be surgery. Sorry your parents are not appropriately informed.
