i was watching the news and they had some story on gyno and how some people have it and how they are embarssed by it. So they were explaining it and showing pic and they said that it could be tissue behind the the nipple or around the whole chest. They showed a pic of a kid who just had like fat around his chest and removed it. I have fat around my chest and always have, even when i loose a lot of weight its still there, so this is gyno right. I was under the empression im just genetically suppost to hold fat in my chest, but the news got me wondering.

I had the same problem, since I was a little kid. I had to get it surgically removed.

If you go the surgical route, make sure you do some research on the plastic surgeon. Ask as many questions and ask to see pictures of his previous work. Some surgeons suck.
 
i dont plan on getting surgery cause its not abig problem. I was just curious as to wether it is techinically gyno or not. It just looks like fat to me, just like i have on my stomach but the news misled me.
 
It involves glandular enlargement.

from "Gynecomastia" by Glenn D. Braunstein:

Gynecomastia, a benign enlargement of the male breast due to proliferation of the glandular component, is a common clinical condition.
It may be an incidental finding on routine examination or may present as an acute unilateral or bilateral painful tender mass beneath the areolar region or as a progressive painless enlargement of the breast.

The most difficult condition to differentiate from gynecomastia is fatty enlargement of the breasts without glandular proliferation (pseudogynecomastia). The discrimination can usually be made with the patient in a supine position by an examiner who grasps the breast between the thumb and forefinger and gently moves the two digits toward the nipple. If gynecomastia is present, a firm or rubbery, mobile, disk-like mound of tissue arising concentrically from beneath the nipple and areolar region will be felt, whereas if the enlargement is due to adipose-tissue deposition, no such disk of tissue will be apparent.
