Gyno or Not?

[Griffo]

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster!

I've had confidence issues with my chest for a looooooong time, and now I'm thinking about surgery, but wanted to make sure that what i have is actually Gyno, and not just stubborn fat.

Would i need a consultation with a surgeon to find out for certain?

Any advice appreciated - Cheers!

Unfortunately, it does seem like you do have some gland as well as fat. Just book a consultation and your surgeon will tell everything for sure:)

Just a heads up! Be sure to find a highly qualified gynecomastia surgeon or you may end up less happy then you are now! This forum is a great place to start as we have some right here!

Welcome to the forum, and good luck!

Yes, you do have excess tissue on your chest, which is the definition of gynecomastia.  It is most likely a combination of fat and gland.  If you think it is only "stubborn fat" then hit the gym and diet like crazy for a year -- and then look at the results.  My bet is that you will then be convinced that only surgery will permanently get rid of your problem.

Good luck!
