Is gynecomastia treatable without surgery and if surgery is the only option could it cause any issues later on
Gynecomastia can sometimes be treated without surgery using medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene, especially if it's hormone-related. However, if surgery is necessary, complications are rare but may include changes in nipple sensation, scarring, or asymmetry. A qualified plastic surgeon can assess your case.
