How to remove gynocomastia?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Treat cause/surgery : Often, treating the cause if the gynecomastia will result in resolution of the problem. Otherwise, the breast can be made smaller with surgery.

Gynecomastia: Breast development in males can be idiopathic (no known cause) or can be related to steroid use or marijuana use. The idiopathic type of gynecomastia is treated by surgical removal of the excess breast tissue. If there is excess fat then this can be removed as well. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
