Depends on the situa: Pubertal gynecomastia (man boobs) 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. If present after 3 years, surgical removal of the glandular tissue ; liposuction of any associated fatty tissue will do the job.
