Answer: Age for male breast reduction Ideally, gynecomastia surgery is delayed until full development, around age 18 after adolescent hormonal influenced breast development ceases. Sometimes it will resolve to a degree afterwards. Also if your child is overweight, often the breasts will diminish with weight loss once in the normal range. However I have operated on several adolescent males to develop gynecomastia for those stigmatized and traumatized by the size of his breasts in severe cases with good results. Yes it is possible they will grow again and another procedure may be required for best results, Discuss the risk vs benefits with your board certified plastic surgeon that has experience in this age group.

Answer: Age for Gynecomastia Surgery There is no recommended age for a gynecomastia surgery, so long as the patient has reached physical maturity. Though relatively older men tend to have more skin elasticity and more pronounced extraneous breast tissue, I have successfully treated a wide range of men through this life-changing procedure. At nearly 20 years of age, you may be a candidate for a gynecomastia procedure should your condition be worthy of the surgery. There are times when I operate on teenagers if their condition significantly impacts their social life and self confidence. Consult a few surgeons in your area for a more accurate assessment and discussion of your options.
