Not uncommon: Gynecomastia most commonly occurs during puberty and may completely resolve within a few years. If it persists as in your situation, corrective surgery may be indicated. Check with your physician for a referral to a plastic surgeon for consultation. The surgical procedure is very common with relatively minimal risks and downtime.
