Teenage Gynecomastia?
I am a 15 year old male and have gynecomastia puffy nipples.
I have booked in an appointment with the local surgeon.
Since I am fifteen will that mean I will have to wait until I am an adult until I can have the surgery, or can I have the surgery even though I am 15. My refeeral from the doctor to the surgeons rooms said that I was 15, so I don't think he would of booked me in if he thought I would have to wait until I am an adult. So can i have the surgery even though I am 15??

I would not recommend surgery for you at this point. At 15, it is most likely hormonal and will go away in time.
Here's what you need to do to Lose Man Boobs...
1. Start adding Turmeric into your Diet. Turmeric is a spice (in the ginger family). It's been used for hundreds of years and is totally safe. The benefit of adding Turmeric to your diet is that it concentrates fat burning to the chest area. This little wonder spice will make your workouts a LOT more effective.
2. Do cardio every other day for only 25 minutes at a time at an intense pace. You want short, high intensity cardio workouts because these workouts will put your body into anaerobic fat burning mode (as opposed to aerobic mode). If you run too much you'll burn muscle along with the fat and your man boobs will sag much more.
3. Do a lot of inclined bench press, shoulder press and chest fly exercises. Use dumbells for these. Dumbells will force your chest to use its stabalizer muscles which will be more effective for burning chest fat. The idea of the incline bench press is to raise your muscle and pull up the loose hanging skin from your nipple area. It works!
4. Eat 6 small meals a day to boost your metabolism and put fat burning into overdrive. By eating smaller meals more frequently in conjunction with your new workout routine, your body will become a fat burning machine. Also as you continue the weight lifting regimen, your newly grown muscles will steal energy from fat stores in your body and get you ripped!
5. Have a plan. Don't just go into everyday all willy nilly with no real goal. Setup a workout schedule if you're serious. Never quit. Remember, it's more than just your appearance at stake - think about your health. Stay motivated and don't stop believing!!!

First, who diagnosed you with the abnormality?
Second: Yes, you can get the surgery WITH Parental consent usually.
ALSO, it is very odd that you will be going for surgery because the usual treatment for the illness is not surgery but medication to cure WHAT CAUSES THE GYNECOMASTIA

yes you should be able to have the surgery
my brother did at 15
be warned if you are overweight they just lipo the area instead of doing the removal op
my brother has had the lipo twice and is due back again sometime this summer cos the breast tissue keeps coming back (he;s 20 now)

how bad is your gynecomastia?
a lot of boys get it during adolescents, and it usually goes away.
other than that i think you should have the sugery at 15.
