unilateral is the exception, but it happens.  pictures aren't visible for me, but the fact you can tell one side from the other probably means you have it.  can't make your financial situation go away, but if you hate it bad enough, a second job for half a year or whatever works for you might seem a lot more like worth it.  and yes it sucks.  welcome to the boards.

i knew i had it for a while like i said at the top. pics are working now

Unilateral gynecomastia is more common that we may think.  I had it only on my right side and the PS I used said he saw a lot of one sided gyne.  Women of course often have one breast slightly larger than the other, but I think it is rare for a woman to have only one developed side.

I don’t have the answer as to why some men have unilateral gyne.  I could make a few guesses along the lines of .... more oestrogen receptors one side of a mans chest, or .... more sensitive oestrogen receptors one side of a mans chest, but as I say they would only be guesses.

I believe surgery is your only option and I accept the financial problem that that causes you.  All I can suggest is that you start saving.  I know that means you will have to wait and live as you do a little longer and that is hard.  However when the day finally arrives that you have the money for the surgery .. what a day that will be, and you will have done it off your own back.

Good luck and keep us posted as to how you get on.

Wat do u think tha price range would be for jus removing one side Gyne?

[headheldhigh01]

less than half cheaper since the surgeon's fee is only part of the total price, which includes fixed costs like hospital cost, anesthetic, etc.  but from the pic, looks to me like your right side has just a little also, which you'd want to lose at the same time.  be ready for 4-5 k more or less, but get a couple of different quotes.

How do u know if i got it on the right side too? Because when i saw a doctor last year he aint say nothing about my right side. Maybe because my nipples aint hard in these pics, and also i dont got nothing behind my right breast no lumps or tissue its flat.

[headheldhigh01]

can't say why the doc did or didn't say anything, either he didn't notice or figured you had worse to worry about on the other side.  you don't have to have solid tissue to have it there, you can tell from the conical shape in the last picture, which is flat by comparison but still not true flat.  obviously not as bad as the right, but if i were you i'd get them to get it at the same time, you could even wind up looking flatter on the left than the right or something, just worth doing.

I'd have to agree with headheldhigh01.  I think that if you remove the gland/fat from only one side, then you'll be left with a flat side and a conical and puffy nip on the other side because of the gland still in there.    For the difference in money I think you would be well-advised to do both sides.  Just my opinion from looking at the pics.
