I am sorry to hear about the physical and psychosocial problems you have experienced.In my opinion, the only reliable (and most effective) management of gynecomastia involves surgical excision. When the time is right, seek consultation (with your parents) with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients achieve the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

Several common factors can cause gynecomastia including excessive levels of #estrogen, natural #hormone changes, use of recreational drugs or alcohol, medications and their associated side effects, and, various health conditions. Also, there are different types of #gynecomastia.

The most common and reliable method to correct gynecomastia, is surgery.There are three types of surgical #treatment #options available that treat gynecomastia. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will recommend the type best suited for you. The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal #candidate.

One sided gyencomastia are not rare, many men suffer from such condition. It can be due to various reasons including use of steroids/drugs/alcohol, genetics, hormones etc and the true gynecomastia doesn't go away through any non-surgical option. The only safe and permanent way to get rid of this condition permanently is the gynecomastia surgery. The cost may be an important factor but safety is more important than anything. Use of non-surgical options (such as pills-which are useless) may even exaggerate your condition and affect your health by disturbing the hormones. I suggest that you schedule an online consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and get best advice by sharing your chest photos with your surgeon. All the best.
