I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having gynecomastia (enlargement of breast in males). The most common cause for this is hormonal imbalance. So better to first diagnose the cause for your condition. Consult endocrinologist and get done hormone levels, mammography. If it is due to hormonal imbalance then hormonal therapy will be helpful, otherwise surgical reduction mammoplasty is an option. So better to consult endocrinologist, first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
