Surgery: By now, if it hasn't reduced on its own you may want to consult a plastic surgeon about surgery.

Self-limiting: Usually gynecomastia is self-limiting and corrects on its own. This is a common occurrence in teenage boys. If it doesn't get better and affects boys in a significant negative way, sometimes it is corrected surgically. It's important to talk with you doctor about this to make sure it's not a sign of an underlying endocrine / hormone problem.

Depends on the situa: Pubertal gynecomastia will occur in 1/3 to 1/2 of males & generally last about a year before fading.Up to 3 years is noted occasionally before disappearing. Overweight kids can appear to have it from just fat accumulation.If present after 3 years, surgical removal of the glandular tissue & liposuction of any associated fatty tissue will do the job.
