Is this Gyno?

[Joseph Jean]

Hi, 
I was obese and have always had fat over my chest. I successfully dropped my weight from 214 pounds (97 kgs) to 176 pounds (79 kgs). In addition, I gained some muscle. Now, I have fat that is  accumulating only around the nipple. I appreciate if you advise me whether this is fats or fats with tissue that requires surgery! This is so much embarrassing! 
Thanks,

Congratulations on your weight loss.It appears you have mild gynecomastia.

Thank you so much for your reply! 
Does it need surgery or should I lose more weight to get rid of it?

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

Congratulations on your weight loss.  You look fairly trim in your photo -- but you do have some remaining gyne.

Losing weight is great -- but unfortunately you cannot get rid of the breast tissue on your chest -- only the fat component will diminish with weight loss, not the gland component.

If you wish to go further with your chest, your only alternative would be surgery, which can directly target the excess tissues and physically remove them.  Best to seek the advice of an experienced gyne surgeon in your area.

Best of luck!

Dr Jacobs

You will need surgery to optimize your appearance.
