Specializes in Clinical Psychology

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.

Gynecomastia: You need a physical exam. May need to rule out endocrine abnormalities...
