IDK, try contacting a doc. They will be able to point you in the right direction. Here's my doc's web page. He or his staff may be able to help http://www.drmoliver.com/basicpgs/frame.htm

Being patient helps, in most cases puberty gynecomastia goes away on its own. Gynecomastia that has not resolved by two years typically does not go away. 

Check out my Teenage Gynecomastia Gallery.  Here you can find pictures before and after my gynecomastia surgery performed on teenagers and adolescent males.  The small image here will link to its much larger image you can click on the details about this patient, the problem, surgical solutions, and results.

"How old should you be before considering Gynecomastia Surgery" are very common questions.  What age depends on many factors. 

Hope this helps,

That doctor's website doesn't mention anything about excision.  Be careful with this guy.  He mentions glandular tissue removal and to me it read as if he is implying that lipo will remove breast tissue, which it cannot.
