I am currently going through puberty, and have had gyno for 2 years, and I hope that estrogen won’t just make them regrow. Is this a realistic fear or is the probability of this occurring low? Please give a very specific and detailed answer, and preferably share a similar case.

Answer: Gynecomastia? If you indeed have gynecomastia then you need to see a plastic surgeon to be evaluated. If you are currently going thru puberty you are young and need your parents involved in all this discussion. Once you have a proper operation then all the excess tissue is gone. The normal estrogen that all males have will not make your tissue regrow. I have been doing gynecomastia surgery for 33 years and never had a patient come back years later with breast tissue regrown. Good luck.

Answer: I currently have gyno, and I want to get surgery. However, I am afraid that estrogen within my body will reverse it. Thanks for your question. The estrogen /testosterone imbalance that occurs during puberty is a transient one time occurrence. So no worries about recurrence. That is, unless you start using marijuana or certain medications which can cause gynecomastia even in otherwise normally developed men. As a precaution you should maybe wait until you are through your pubertal growth spurt at age 23 or so. Regards
