Unfortunately not
If you have true gynecomastia then exercise will not improve by exercise. Sometimes it can mask small gynecomastia for a period of time but does not take it away nor does diet. If it is pseudo-gynecomastia, then this is fat and not breast gland and this can be reduced with diet and exercise.

Correction of Gynecomastia?
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunate, gynecomastia cannot be corrected with chest exercises.
Gynecomastia comes from the Greek meaning "gyne" meaning woman and "mastos" meaning breasts. It refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males. The diagnosis can be made by physical examination where relatively firm tissue (breast gland tissue) can be differentiated from relatively soft tissue (adipose tissue).

Real Gynecomastia as oppose to Pseudo Gynecomastia and exercise
Real Gynecomastia is mainly composed by Gladular Breast tissue .It is mostly an hormonal phenomenon and is not influenced by weight changes or exercise.In actuality it may appear larger when losing fatty tissue .Pseudo-Gynecomastia is composed of fatty tissue and losing weight and exercise can help to reduce the size of breast.

Gynecomastia Correction
Gynecomastia cannot be corrected with chest exercises. The only treatment (unless due to medication which is stopped) is surgical (usually a combination of excision and lipo); in fact, many of my gynecomastia patients have been weightlifters or other bodybuilders.

Exercise to remedy gynecomastia?
True gynecomastia will not resolve with any exercises or building up of the chest. In fact, many young men who are bothered by gynecomastia during puberty will focus on chest training, sometimes complaining that building of the chest actually seems to make the condition look worse. In most cases, the combination of glandular tissue under the nipple-areolar complex, and the surrounding fat, which is resistant to weight loss, can only be eliminated with excision and liposuction.

Gynecomastia correction with chest exercises?
Usually gynecomastia is extra soft tissue that resides on top of the muscle. Making the muscle larger is not going to effect the breast tissue on top. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation and see what your options are.

Chest exercises do not correct gynecomastia
Gynecomastia usually presents with enlarged breasts due to either extra fat and/or enalrged breast tissue. It is independent of the pectoral muscle. Exercise affetcs only the muscle which will have no bearing on the enalrged breast mound. Furthermore if you want to show off your "pecs" you need to correct the camouflaging effect of the gynecomastia first. Afterwards you can work out and build up the pecs.

Exercises for gynecomastia correction
Although chest exercises will help tone the underlying pectoral muscles, exercise alone will not rid your body of the excess fat. A patient should initiate a rigorous exercise regimen with a balanced diet to decrease the fat percentage throughout their body. Combined with a rigorous exercise regimen, this weight loss will accentuate the underlying pectoral muscles. For any fat that remains in this area, ultrasound by the suction is an excellent technique to rid yourself of...

Exercise doesn't help gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is breast tissue. Although there may be a fat component to it, if you are asking if getting your pecs bulked up will make it go away, no it won't. Also bulking up using anabolic steroids would be the worst thing to do, as steroids often cause gynecomastia.

Chest exercises will make gynecomastia worse.
Hi.
1) Unfortunately, chest exercises just make your pectoral muscles bigger, which makes your chest bulge out more on each side, which is exactly what you don't want. In Manhattan, we have seen this happen over and over again.
2) Male breast reduction is really the only solution. The good news is that it is pretty easy and almost scarless.

Correcting Gynecomastia
Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Exercise will not usually get rid of gynecomastia. Exercise and weight loss can change how you look and reduce some of the fat, but will not typically reduce much of the breast tissue. The best way to correct gynecomastia is surgery, either by excision, liposuction, or both.
It is important before sugery to be examined and make sure you have no health conditions that are making your breast increase in size. You would also want to stop taking any drugs or...

Gynecomastia can NEVER be reversed by exercise
Unfortunately, Gynecomastia (Man Boobs) can never be reversed by serious exercise. A a matter of fact a large portion of men suffering from gynecomastia are former athletes.
A lot of drugs and disease can cause Gynecomastia but the commonest cause is an unknown cause. The only effective treatment for gynecomastia is surgery: Depending of the extensiveness of the Gynecomastia, it can be liposuction along, liposuction with excision of the breast gland or a mastectomy.

Exercise and gynecomastia
Exercise will not get rid of gynecomastia. It may change the way you look and may help reduce the body fat but otherwise will not get rid of the breast tissue. If you are very heavy and have large breasts the gynecomastia may be mostly fat and a general fat reduction may help you.

This is a matter of relativity? Specifically how much breast and adipose tissue relative to muscle bulk. In instances where the ratio is relatively low, exercise could displace small amounts fo fat and gland.
Typically the patients I see have already tried this approach and failed. So it is difficult to estimate because I do not get a chance to evaluate the patients who are successful.
