Male Breast Reduction versus implants

John P. Di Saia, MD answers: Male breast reduction or chest implants - which is best to enhance chest?

I want my chest to look bigger but I am having a hard time building up my pecs.  I've heard that guys get a breast reduction to help get rid of flab that won't go away around the nipples but I think that might end up making my chest look smaller. How do I decide between getting pec/chest implants and breast reduction? Will I still be able to build up muscle if I get the implants? Could I get both?

Hello,

A male breast reduction is only useful if you have breast tissue there. I do not do chest implants but they will not firm up breast tissue if that is your goal.

Helpful?
