I am 17 years old and my chest has big boobs. What's the permanent solution of this?

The male breast is composed of glandular tissue and fatty tissue. An excess in either type of tissue can cause the chest to take on the look of gynecomastia. Gynecomastia can affect men of all different body types. There are different types of #gynecomastia.

Particularly, Normal Gynecomastia is usually apparent in males between the ages of 12 to 15 years old. It is also common for older men 65 years old or more who experience a drop in their testosterone levels. #Normal Gynecomastia takes approximately one to two years to naturally regress on its own.

Adolescent Gynecomastia is hereditary and usually appears in 30% to 60% of boys between the ages of nine to fourteen. Many cases of adolescent gynecomastia resolve on its own as the boy grows into adulthood. Some with #Adolescent may choose to undergo surgery to correct the situation, this usually happens at the age of 18 or above. In severe cases in young boys, the physician and child development specialists will need to speak to the parents regarding the severity of the gynecomastia and if surgery is an option before the age of 18.

If you have had male breasts for less than 2 years, it may go away on its own. If it has been longer than that, it is probably permanent. The only way to get rid of it permanently is by surgical incision combined with liposuction. Unless your gynecomastia is caused by fat only, if so, liposuction or CoolSculpting may be a resolution for you. See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in gynecomastia to evaluate you and explain what options are available to you. Good luck!
