Specializes in surgery

Surgery: Subcutaneous mastectomy. Gynecomastia may resolve somewhat if off the steroids, or other medications. While a nuisance it is not very dangerous, as long as self checked, or followed with pcp.

Surgical resection: Most likely, if there is hard nodular tissue in the breast as a result of steroid use, a surgical resection by a plastic surgeon would be most appropriate. Liposuction typically is not effective, and a direct surgical excision through an incision in the areola is effective, if the surgeon is experienced.
