Usually surgery: Although weight loss can help if it's related to being overweight, typically surgery is needed. The procedure that is done usually involves some liposuction of the chest area, removal of the thick glandular tissue, and sometimes, some procedure to tighten up stretched out skin. See your local plastic surgeon.

Surgery Helpful.: If symptomatic and/or aesthetically displeasing, surgical correction of gynecomastia can be worthwhile. Treatment is individualized depending on the specific patient's situation; involves direct excision of glandular tissue, liposuction surgery, and/or occasionally excision of excess skin as well.
