Hi artyisonfire, Thank you for being courageous enough to post about your situation. I specialize in gynecomastia surgery and do see lots of teen patients in similar situations as yours. In fact, I have included a picture below of a case last year where the teen had surgery at around age 19...

Hi jones, I saw your post and wanted to let you know that I am a gynecomastia specialist in New York. I see patients who fly in from all over the country and have also treated patients from all 6 other continents. I have about a decade of experience treating teens, men, and bodybuilders who...

Hi pmelol, Sorry to hear about your nipple issue. It's very difficult to tell you whether it is gyne just by the images you posted. A doctor would need to do blood work on you to check hormone levels and a physical exam to rule out serious medical conditions and to assess whether it is...

Hi Ideuzee, As a gynecomastia specialist, I mostly see patients in your age bracket who have had to suffer with the condition for a long time and are fed up. It's very common for it to occur during the teen years and go away within 1-2 years, but some patients never shake it. If you have solid...

Most of my patients say that the vest is thin enough that they were able to hide it under their work shirt with a sweater, a vest, or sports jacket on top. Best of luck with your surgery and keep us posted on how everything goes. Best, Dr. A

I like the fact that such a general question got so many people to respond with some great advice. Definitely feels like a bunch of friends in these forums, sharing their experiences and advice with each other. I see some excellent suggestions for good health from every person who responded. In...

My advice is to speak with a physician who specializes in addiction so they can help you safely and more easily taper off (to ease the physical symptoms of long term use) and who can also deal with the potential psychological addiction that sometimes comes with use of these drugs. Some people...

Hello Deltoidz, Above all else, get to a doctor to have your breasts checked. Pus or blood from the nipples is a warning sign to get to a doctor as soon as possible. Please let us know what the doctor finds. All the Best, Dr. Asare

As a specialist in the area of treating gyno, I charge from $3999 and up for surgery. It usually involves laser lipo to melt/dissolve the excess fatty tissue and some men also require glandular tissue to be taken out by hand to reduce the gland size to a normal proportion. I use local anesthetic...

Hello ultimate x, Thanks for posting your pics and the info about the doctors you've seen. That's definitely the right step - to get a physical exam. It's a good sign that there are no lumps under the nipples and that the ultrasound came up clear. Have you had them take blood to run your...

Hi cr4nk, Sorry to hear about your gynecomastia. It's not a fun thing to deal with for any guy at any age, even more so for bodybuilders looking to perfect their physique. Your question doesn't have a straight forward answer, in my opinion. On the one hand, excess body fat can contribute to...

Since we don't perform the fat freeze procedure in our offices, I can only comment on the procedure we perform to get rid of excess fat - and that is SmartLipo laser liposuction. The laser fiber basically melts away the fat cells that the laser comes into contact with. Due to the heat in the...

First, major congratulations on your weight loss accomplishment! You look fantastic. For a body lift, in your case it looks as though you're dealing with just a loose skin issue (and not necessarily a separation of the abdominal muscles, though you'd need a physical exam to confirm that). For...

As a cosmetic surgeon, I can appreciate the advancements being made in this field. What a fascinating idea to have brand new skin! Though not for everyone, surgery to enhance one's appearance can boost to self-esteem, especially for those dealing with physical deformities from sports injuries...

Best of luck and let us know what your doctor says. Blood work is a great first step in figuring out what you feel is best for you. I see lots of patients around your age who have dealt with mild to even severe gyno since their early teens, thinking it would go away some day after the advice of...
