Talk with doctors...: See transplant doctor to clarify if gynecomastia is really liver-transplant related. If so, ask her/him if something can be done. For someone after liver transplant, i would be more careful of any drug use. But as a urologist, I do know low-dose of radiation to the breasts helps decrease their size in patients under hormonal rx for prostate cancer. So, this may be a worthwhile consideration...

Medications: If you had a liver transplant and part of the treatment post operatively was the drug cyclosporine, then Cyclosporine (csa)-related gynecomastia 6 and 10 months after transplantation is common. Switch to tacrolimus , it does not cause the reduced testosterone, increased prolactinand lh hormone associated with cyclosporine. This will result in resolution of your gynecomastia.
