Not really.: Certain behaviors, drugs increase the risk of gynecomastia, so avoiding these helps prevent gynecomastia formation. Once the breasts are enlarged, surgery is usually the best option. The major exception to this is for teen aged boys who have recently developed gynecomastia, as pubescent gynecomastia may resolve on its own in a year or two. A full hitory and physical exam is needed before treatment.
