How can I reduce my gynecomastia without surgery?

I am 18 years old and I have had gynecomastia since I was 7. When I was 7 I was overweight and I didn't start becoming self-conscious of my breasts until age 10 and I rarely took my shirt off in front of others, nor went to the pool.

When I was 14 I was close to 300 pounds [I was very tall at 6'3"] and my breasts grew even more. The physicians even measured me as a B cup. So over the last 4 years I've changed my eating habits, started exercising more and now I am down almost 70 pounds. Basically every area on my body diminished by my breasts, and I'm becoming more discouraged because I have defined pectoral muscles with huge flappy breast tissue sloshing over it. I can feel where the muscle stops and the tissue begins

The doctor said it would dissolve over puberty. Now I am coming towards the end of puberty and no progress has been achieved. How can I reduce my gynecomastia without expensive surgery?

dude...i feel bad fo u...but u can't really spot reduce a certian area...

the best ways i can suggest is stop eating fatty food..try to hit the gym for cardio..do a good 30 min cardio for a month or so and then switch to HIIT( high intensity interval training ), do a lot of swimming..and most importantly..DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!..

Unfortunately, as I was told, because I has the same shitty problem in the past, there is NO GUARANTEE that it will diminish. Doctors claim that it is a possibility that gynecomastia will go away after puberty, but there is no guarantee. As you know, it sucks to have this problem. Shitty, embarassing, leads you to not want to go anywhere such as a beach or pool. My suggestion would be to suck it up and spend the $4,000.00 to get the issue corrected. Again, it's just shitty, man. I'd like to say don't let it bother you, but, as I've had it, I thought about it every single day. Hope you get better, man!
