I am a plastic surgeon and treat up to 8 gynecomastia patients a day from around the world.  I have been dealing with helping the public learn about this condition for now more than 30 years.

Dealing with so many gynecomastia patients, it is hard to express their frustration with the public just not understanding the problem.  The anger is intense and most cannot express themselves why they feel so stressed out about their problem.  I put a video of a particularly eloquent patient describing his living with gynecomastia up to help family and others understand the Emotion Behind Gynecomastia.  Unfortunately there is noting like hearing the stress in the human voice to emphasize the emotional component, it would have been nice to show the face, but then I would not have been permitted to share his experience.  I added it as a reference as I thought it was the best way to show that such details were available to those trying to deal with this problem.

Public phrases like those listed puffy nips also include "bitch tits" but I did not know if that was permitted here.  So many just do not recognize gynecomastia but the lay phases added.

Non-surgical compression garments have been a major source of stress relief for those waiting  to see if their gynecomastia would resolve on its own, or were dealing with losing weight, or just could not afford surgery.  This link is to examples of how effective / not effective garments can be for real life sufferers of gynecomastia.  Fat people still look fat but the bouncing is stabilized.  Many have told me of the differences the garments have made their lives.  The parents of one 14 year old child from Trinidad told me he was a different person just from use of the garment while waiting the year his endocrinologist wanted for his medical condition to stabilize.  The actual surgery made a greater difference.

Gynecomastia comes in so many differnt forms that the limited pictures just does not tell the story well at all. The Gynecomastia Gallery link is a much more comprehensive method of demonstrating the problem.

Hope the additions were according to form.
