Some options: The age listed on your profile is 35. If true, this is long past the age when puberty related gynecomastia would fade.I would see your doc and make sure you do not have a treatable medical condition that brought this about.It is rare but men can get breast cancer.If not a consultation with a plastic surgeon with experience in the area would be my next move.
