Man Boobs: Gynecomastia can actually be caused by underlying medical conditions in older men. The best thing to do is have an evaluation by your physician to rule out any underlying causes. If negative then surgery may be an option.

Yes: Assuming a young man has achieved a long-term stable weight and there are no “causative agents” involved, surgery may be indicated to treat persistent gynecomastia. It is often best treated with partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area. If the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue, then liposuction surgery.
