Gynecomastia at age 17. My doctor told me it will resolve on its own. Is he right, or should I go for surgery? (Photo)

In general for most patients in my experience is that after puberty has ended for a few years, gynecomastia usually remains and surgical treatment is required.

I would be comfortable performing a gynecomastia reduction at this time.  I would consider a combination of liposuction and direct excision.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
