Non Exist.

I am ask this question frequently. If you have true gynecomastia it will not resolve after its development unless you are in the teenage years. Diet and exercise will reduced the fat tissue but the breast gland will not resolve. see video

Laser surgery not for gynecomastia

A laser is either a cutting tool, substituting for a scalpel, or a method for skin resurfacing. Gynecomastia requires either skin and glandular resection, liposuction, or both. At this time, there are no pharmacological substitutes for surgery.

Gynecomastia

There is currently no recommended, FDA-approved medical (i.e. non-surgical) treatment for gynecomastia.

Surgery is the best treatment for gynecomastia (male breasts)

There is no treatment (non-surgical) that can give the results that surgery can for male breast reduction. Gynecomastia (excess male breast tissue) is typically treated with a combination of liposuction to removes excess fat plus direct excision of breast tissue through a small areolar incision.

I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation to see which approach is best for you... more
