Surgery is a last resort.

Best to look honestly at your own body and your lifestyle.  If you do not exercise or if you eat too much (or eat the wrong type of foods), it is far better to change those things now.  Try to get into the best shape you can -- and then, if your boobs still bother you, you could consider surgery.

Good luck!

thanks a lot sir!...if at all they disappear naturally by what age do they generally disappear?...and what exercises should i do now to reduce them....

From what I know, and im not a doctor, if you have had them and they have been stable for two or more years, they wont go away, and you are a candidate for surgery. The idea of surgery is a much bigger deal than actually going through with the surgery. Dont over think it. If you dont like it there is a way to fix it and move on with your life. But being in shape will make you an overall happier person.

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

Correct, usually gyne that has persisted for two or more years will not disappear spontaneously.  However, if you really diet and exercise, your body will be re-proportioned, with less fat and much healthier.  Your moobs may shrink a little or a lot -- but they may never go away completely.

But diet and exercise should be your first step.  Give it at least six months -- and then take another assessment of your progress.  If your body is now slimmer but the moobs persist and they still bother you, then surgery may be an option.

oh...many people have told me that they appear because of puberty and disappear after the age of 18...is this is true..then its good because surgery is really expensive...

I never had moobs, but I had some extremely puffy nips. They showed up during puberty...and never went away. I am now 26, and one week post op. If money is an issue talk to your parents, i know it seems hard but take it from me, don't hold it inside and hide it away for a number of years. I told my mom about the surgery a day before i went in, and she wondered why I never asked her about it when I was growing up, she would have taken care of it for me!
