Is large chest with discomfort and loose skin a severe case of gynecomastia?

2 months ago

My chest has become very large and sometimes it feels uncomfortable when I’m walking, exercising or doing normal activities . I am also not comfortable with how it looks and avoid going shirtless. Is this a severe case of gynecomastia, and can surgery remove the extra tissue and loose skin?

Enlarged breast tissue in males that causes physical discomfort during activities and affects self-confidence can indeed be a sign of gynecomastia, which may range from mild to severe. Surgery (gynecomastia correction) can effectively remove excess glandular tissue and, in more advanced cases, address loose or excess skin as well. It is recommended to consult a qualified surgeon who can evaluate the extent of the condition and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach for your case.

By the image , it looks like grade 3 gynecomastia, surgery is the only option to get proper result.
