Can a gynecomastia come back?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Gynecomastia : Can recur. Gynecomastia (male breast enlargement) can be due to drugs, hormones, or medical conditions. Many men also can have excess fat deposits on their chest. Liposuction and, if necessary, surgical excision of excess tissue can improve the appearance of male breast enlargement.

Yes: Especially in chronic pot smokers and steroid- using body builders. It can also recur if there is an unsolved hormonal issue, liver or testicular disease that is not addressed.

Yes: Gynecomastia comes from the greek meaning "gyne" meaning woman and "mastos" meaning breasts. it refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males. Although there may be many “causes”, most cases are idiopathic (no specific cause). The use of certain medications, drugs, organ dysfunction (kidney or liver), hormonal imbalances etc. May also cause of recurrence.
