well those don't look very much out of the ordinary for a teen , you seem to be in good shape.a little upper body building is about all you should need , but if you really have the need to have surgery Dr Jacobs would be the one to ask.good luck

Yes, you do appear to have a minor amount of gynecomastia.  Since you have had it for a few years, it will most likely remain that way.  It will not flatten out in the future and building muscle (although commendable) will not make it any better -- the tissue, which sits on top of the muscle, would only be thrust further forward by the enlarged muscle.

Best to sit down with you parents and have a heart to heart discussion with them, detailing both your physical and emotional problems associated with the condition.  You can also consider a consultation with a gyne specialist to assess all your options.

Good luck!
