Depends on extent: Since body builders have very little subcutaneous fat. Even small amount of gynecomastia may be visible. In some cases the the smooth carve of the lower chest is interupted by a large protuding areola, the colored skin surrounding the nipple. In other cases the entire lower chest may be enlarged.
