Do not do this.

Scott E. Kasden, MD answers: Kenalog injections possible for Gynecomastia?

I'm a skinny with very mild gynecomastia. Can over-injecting Kenalog injections help cause it to atrophy a little--and thereby avoid traumatic surgery? Or does it not affect the gland tissue at all?

This is not a good idea for the atrophy reason and others. Get liposuctioned out or directly excised. Either can be a small office procedure. But, do not do kenalog.
