Hi welcome to health care magic....

If gynecomastia present than nipple , Areola and breast enlargement can be there....

For confirmation FNAC like least invasive procedure done....

Underlying etiology if present corrected like.....
-Chronic liver disease
-Certain drugs
-Steroid etc...

If no specific cause present than surgical correction can be done....

So it is you examination and fnac that will confirm your diagnosis...

Advise :Surgeon consultation for examination and further work up....

Take care
