Consult surgeon: Consult a surgeon about possible surgery. The doctor will explain the risks involved. Usually the surgery is straight forward with minor risk.

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 people 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.
