Dr. Rai is often asked: What is best time to have surgery for gynecomastia, and will it get worse with time if I wait?

Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Vasdev Rai is often asked by his patients: Do I need an endocrine workup for my Gynecomastia?
It may not be necessary. Most cases of gynecomastia are not caused by health disorders.

However, some of the symptoms that doctors look or may seem unrelated to the development of your breasts.
