What size tank, what are your water stats and any other tankmates?
It's hard to tell from the pictures I'm afraid but if the gills are swollen, then there's a chance he has a bacterial infection.

er... looks to me like you've highlighted your bettas gill flaps. When he flares, those will extend out to make him look bigger to other fish.
