Amit Miller is a 17-year-old aspiring musician. He developed noticeable breast buds at age 14 that never went away, a source of relentless teasing in the locker room. He became withdrawn, stopped playing sports, and would hunch his shoulders to hide his chest. His supportive but concerned parents took him to an endocrinologist, who found no underlying pathology, it was persistent pubertal gynecomastia. After 18 months with no change, they consulted a surgeon specializing in adolescent aesthetic surgery. The surgeon agreed he was a good candidate, noting the psychological toll, and recommended minimal incision peri-areolar gland excision. The procedure was straightforward. Recovery was quick; he was back to light activity in a week, wearing the compression vest under his clothes. The result was a natural, masculine chest contour with barely visible scars. Emotionally, Amit journeyed from crippling self-consciousness and social anxiety to a quiet, steady confidence. He joined a band and performs on stage without the old fear, feeling unburdened.
