I am almost 21 years old now. I am 6ft tall and 190lbs. I've had at least a mild form of gynecomastia for as long as I can remember. When I was 17, I had a small tumor in my left breast. I had it removed and it turned out to be nothing, so that was good. I went to 3 doctors just so I could be sure that the tumor needed to be removed, and they all agreed. That was probably the first time in my life, when a doctor acknowledged that I was a little different, and that I did have a little more breast tissue that most kids my age. Every doctor that I saw told me that it was normal and that is should go away in a year or two, maybe 3, and if not, then surgery would probably be an option. Its been 3 years now and I think that I have noticed a slight decrease in my amount of breast tissue, but I haven't noticed any decrease in over two years now.
I do admit that I could loose a few lbs. Between age 17 and 19 I started life weights on a regular basis and put on about 25lbs. Though I put on 25lbs, my body did firm up quite a bit, though I could probably still use some heavy gym time. I really tried hard to firm up my chest, in attempt to decrease the extra tissue.

I really hate to take my shit off, especially around girls. For the most part I feel pretty comfortable in most clothes.

Here are some photos, please tell me the severity of my condition, and maybe what my options are. I really don't want to pay for surgery, but my appearance is really starting to take a toll on my self confidence. Is there a chance that it could still go away?
