What's the earliest age to correct gynecomastia?

lissam
My 13 year old son has gynecomastia and he has become very self-conscious about it. He has always been very active in sports and I worry that it will hinder his activities. As his friends have started to make comments about it. He no longer takes his shirt off in public. Is it possible let to have surgery before highschool? If not what is the earliest he can have surgery?
