Answer: Will adolescent gynecomastia go away? It is not uncommon to see some degree of breast enlargement early in puberty. Often the onset of puberty can be as early as 12 years of age. When the breast increases in size at this age the enlargement is usually temporary and often returns back to normal in 1-2 years. The usual finding in this case is a firm fibrous mass just below the areola. This may be accompanied by increase in the surrounding fatty tissue. When this is noted early in puberty it is reasonable to delay treatment for 1-2 years anticipating a return to normal. Commonly the hormonal imbalance stabilizes at approximately 15 years of age. Gynecomastia persisting beyond this age can be considered for surgical correction. Very often even small to moderate amounts of gynecomastia can result in social withdrawal during the teenage years. When persistent gynecomastia and noticeable social withdrawal is present at this age it is reasonable to proceed with surgical correction.

Answer: most gynecomastia evolving in puberty will resolve spontaneously. About 30 to 40% of boys going through puberty experience some gynecomastia. In the vast majority of cases this subsides with time.

Answer: Adolescent with gynecomastia I understand your concern. While it may be related to your reaching puberty, it may not go away. I commend your weight loss and workout regimen, that is an excellent start! Try building up your chest muscles on machines that target those areas, but if it still doesn't get better and it bothers your, talk to your parents! Ask them to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon. If needed, the surgery is straight forward and immensely rewarding.
