Gynecomastia: In most situations, gynecomastia in adolescents does get better on its own as you get older.

Teen boys with boobs: Puberty brings about some changes in boys that they're never that happy about - some growth of their breasts. Majority of times it will resolve but if significant then it may need surgical correction. Also if the child is overweight then that should be addressed first with weight loss, better diet and exercise and then pursue surgical correction for the non-resolving gynecomastia.

Does it bother you?: If so, office surgery is simple and I think you'll be happy with the results. If not, it usually regresses on its own in a few years.
