Not usually.: It may go away on its own especially if associated with presciption medications that can be substtuted. Occasionally, some patients have surgery for persistent gynecomastia that is either painful or cosmetically unacceptable.

Depends...: The decision of whether or not to proceed with surgery to correct gynecomastia will ultimately be a very personal decision based on whether the enlarged breast gland causes physical and/or psychosocial “distress”. As always, patient should weigh the pros/cons associated with the procedure to determine whether to proceed or not. Consultation with board certified plastic surgeons may be helpful.

If it bothers you: Whether or not to proceed with surgery will depend on how bothered you are by the appearance of it.
