Dr. Sanford Archer answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Hormonal imbalance: Hormonal imbalance or genetic predisposition can cause gynecomastia, but sometimes it may be a weight problem as well. If weight loss is not helping, then surgical intervention is the next step. Consider a consultation with a plastic surgeon.
