You see i just had a thought, i am 14 and i was wondering when i grow taller and larger will my gynecomastia stretch out and look smaller or will it just grow along with the size of my body?

i don't think you can say for sure, but how long have you had it, how severe, solid or softer, etc? 
* a man is more than a body will ever tell
* if it screws up your life the same, is there really any such thing as "mild" gyne?

never mind, some smaller cases are more solid when they have the same tissue but compressed down without the fat component.  so if you've got it that bad, it's probably not going to hide by stretching, and it would take a lot of stretching anyway.  if it slows down/levels off at some point it probably won't get too much worse.  but sounds like a case for an op in maybe 2-3 years.

At your age a lot depends upon how physically mature you are.

You could still grow quite a bit and the breast tissue remain the same. This would mean that the breast tissue would be smaller in relation to the overall chest size.

The breast tissue could diminish. With or without general growth of the rest of your body, your problem would then be over.

Given your age, there are many other possibilities as well. You could be a candidate for surgery later, but for now I think your Doctor is giving you sound advice.

it's unfortunate, but second that.
