Question 1

i am 19 and i have manboobs after losing a lot of weight. i have a small body but moobs. help me pls.

Accepted Answer

Depends on the situa: Pubertal gynecomastia will occur in 1/3 to 1/2 of males & generally last about a year before fading.Up to 3 years is noted occasionally before disappearing. Overweight kids can appear to have it from just fat accumulation.If present after 3 years, surgical removal of the glandular tissue & liposuction of any associated fatty tissue will do the job.

Question 2

after losing a significant amount of weight, i seem to still be carrying a lot of weight in my chests (very pronounced moobs) despite no longer being overweight and carrying any significant weight elsewhere. how can i lose this weight?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: Glad to hear you were able to loose the weight.  The excess breast tissue MAY need to be removed surgically.  Please see your family doc for a start.  He/she MAY refer you to a plastic surgeon.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

i want to  lose my  gynecomastia, any ideas ?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: Many men carry their extra weight in the chest. If your body weight is ideal and you have a flat belly then you may have to consider surgery. If the tissue is firm or hard then it may need to be removed with surgery. Fat can be removed with liposuction even if your not at your ideal weight. A visit to a board certified plastic surggeon will answer these questons.

Question 4

if i lose weight will my gynecomastia go away by itself?

Accepted Answer

No: Gynecomastia is hormonally-active breast tissue in a man.  Since breast tissue consists of mostly fat, losing weight will cause a reduction in the size of any breast tissue, either in a man or a woman;  however, the enlarged breast tissue will still remain.

Question 5

can you tell me how i can lose weight and why do i still have gynecomastia?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Gynocomastia can arise on its own or can be secondary to certain drugs (ie marijuana and many prescription meds) and also can be secondary to hormonal problems that may signal a bigger issue.  Consider seeing your md for help with a weight loss plan. If you do have gynocomastia, you need a testicular exam, review of your medications, and several blood tests that are not part of routine bloodwork.

Question 6

i'm 16 a guy and my heights 5'5 my weight is 130 pounds how much weight do i need to lose to get rid of my armpit-fat and moobs and my lower back fat?

Accepted Answer

It is more helpful: to work toward turning fat into muscle.  Your weight sounds appropriate.  If doc says your health is ok, some upper body exercise could be helpful.  Try to focus more on being neat, clean, and treating others the way you would like to be treated.  Peace and good health.

Question 7

how do i lose the fat in my moobs.?
can you implants for males to look like pectoral muscles?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you are heavy, there is no targeted way to loose moob fat other than surgical liposuction. If your body fat is average, then liposuction &amp; removal of any glandular tissue is the answer. I would only start the process if your doc has excluded medical or medication causes. Some cosmetic surgeons are able to use such implants, but I would investigate the issue in detail before proceeding.

Question 8

if i lose weight what will my gynecomastia look like? droopy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: skin laxity: This depends on the severity of your conditions and the degree of skin laxity and the magnitude of weight loss.

Question 9

how can i lose weight fast, i have gynecomastia and i weigh about 210 pounds. age 23 5'8?

Accepted Answer

Sorry: There is no fast weight loss (without liposuction) as it takes burning off 3500 calories that you don't eat to lose a pound. You are over 50# above ideal body weight, which will take approx. 2 years to lose if you exercise daily and eat about 1700 calories a day, which is about 2500 less than you need per day to keep your weight stable. Don't fall pray to internet/tv scams either, they don't work.

Question 10

can losing a testicle after puberty cause gyno (gynecomastia) in males after a long period of time?(low testerone, man boobs?)

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Testicles are glands that produce testosterone. When glands appear in pairs in the body and one gland gives up, the other gland will compensate for that - unless that gland is sick, too. A blood test will reveal if the remaining gland is functional.
