When do most hormones balance for teenage boys and the breasts recede? When would be the earliest age that a teenager could have a male breast reduction? In which cases would surgery be a recommended alternative?
For a high percentage of boys the growth of male breast tissue seems to occur between the ages of 10 to 13 years. It is triggered by an imbalance of estrogen and testosterone. For most boys, the condition will resolve itself on reaching adulthood. But for approximately 5% it never diminishes, leaving surgery as the only option. It is best to be evaluated by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia to determine when or if surgery is recommended.
I am a 21 year old male and when I was about 13 my right nipple started to become enlarged and when touched you can feel a mass inside. I went to the doctor then and they just said it was gynecomastia and that it would go away. But Im now 21 and its still there, I would like it fixed, any advice would be appreciated,
A combination of Vaser liposuction and glandular excision provides consistent, safe treatment for gynecomastia. Liposuction alone, even with Vaser (ultrasound) assistence, often doesn't give enough improvement. The incisions are small and can usually be hidden in the areola. The treatment can also reduce the puffiness of your nipple/areolar complexes.
