Can my gynecomastia go away on its own?

Yes.: Most cases resolve on their own over a period of several months, especially if it is associated with prescription medications that can be substituted.

No: Most gynecomastia cases involve breast tissue which does not go away on it's own.

Sometimes.: Most cases of pubertal gynecomastia resolves spontaneously, without the need for intervention. Gynecomastia in older patients however usually does not resolve spontaneously. I have found that gynecomastia, if persistent, is often best treated with partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area.

Rarely: Usually if the gynecomastia has been present for a couple of years or more, it's not going away without surgery.
