Please get your: hormones checked by your doc. If they are out of balance he/she can help you. There are natural ways to do that also but you need a doc who is trained in that. So, that extra breast tissue may go away. Remote possibility of surgery. Peace and good health.

Gynecomastia: Physiologic or " expected" gynecomastia should last for no longer than 1 year. See your doctor for an exam to determine if this is glandular tissue or fat tissue. Often fibrotic changes occur that require treatment. Other causes of prolonged gynecomastia should be reviewed. Look at any medications you may be taking. Your MD can do any necessary tests and refer you to a gynecologist.
