What age is it generally that will make it certain that you will have gyne forever. I am 16 and I have had it since i was about 11/12 years old. Ive heard people say that it can be beacsue of puberty and will dissapear after a few years. However i have had it for about 5 years now. So i was wondering how old do you have to be for it not to be puberty related.

It is usually said that if the condition has not changed within 2 years it probably will not change.

It is not uncommon for men to have gynecomastia for a period of time at the age of 13-15.  Typically, this goes away within 2 years.  If, however, after 2 years there is no significant change in breast tissue, it is likely it will persist.
