Other Options to Treat Gynecomastia 

Though there are medications available for gynecomastia treatment, you can opt for other methods for gynecomastia treatment, such as:

• Hormone Therapy- Also known as testosterone therapy, in this method, the estrogen hormones are replaced with testosterone so that the swollen breasts tissues shrink on their own. 
• Liposuction– In this procedure, a small incision is made around the areola to insert the cannula. Then the cannula is used to break and extract the fat tissues. 
• Gland Excision Surgery- This technique involves making an incision around the areola and excising the excess tissues using a scalpel to treat gynecomastia. 
• Gynecomastia Surgery- This treatment is a combination of liposuction and gland excision surgery. At first, liposuction is used to break the fat tissues and expose the glandular tissues. After that, excision of the glandular tissues takes place which reduces the size of breasts significantly.
