Can an existing male Gynecomastia be counteracted by massive chest exercises?
Answer: Can Gynecomastia be Corrected with Exercise? Gynecomastia in general is the combination of excess diet resistant fat to the chest combined with glandular tissue, which is a white rubbery substance that develops in the male chest. Sometimes this is caused as a result of unknown changes during puberty, while it can also be caused by steroid use, marijuana use or a number of other hormonal imbalances. For most patients, once this occurs it cannot be completely corrected with exercise. In some cases exercise will actually make the appearance worse because as the chest muscle gets stronger and fuller it pushes the glandular tissue out making the pointiness or feminine appearance of the chest more noticeable. If you feel that your gynecomastia is purely due to excess weight then diet and exercise may be an option. However, for most patients gynecomastia requires a surgical procedure, which combines liposuction of the chest with glandular tissue removal through the areola as the best option. I can perform both of these surgeries through the same small lower areola incisions to minimize scarring and achieve a very masculine appearance to the chest.

Answer: Gynecomastia NYC Unfortunately, gynecomastia is not a condition that reacts to diet and exercise. Many of my gynecomastia patients are active, healthy individuals who have already tried excessive exercise and diet, yet still have persistent excess fat and/or male breast tissue. While it is always a good idea to be healthy and exercise, the condition of gynecomastia is often due to genetics. The good news is that in under two hours, a gynecomastia procedure can provide a patient with a very fit and handsome male chest. For best results, please reach out to a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Gynecomastia and chest exercises Gynecomastia is the enlargment of the male breast It has nothing to do with the muscle. I see many body builders who want to get rid of their gynecomastia because it hides the lower border of the Pectoralis muscle and therfore doesn't allow them to see all of the fruits of their labor. Sometimes building up the muscle and getting more lean will actually make the gynecomastia look even more prominent.

Answer: Exercise will not Correct Gynecomastia Gynecomastia will not go away with any chest or "pec" exercises. Most patients that have "gynecomastia" have some "component" of fatty tissue as well as "glandular" gynecomastic tissue that causes the chest fullness. Chest exercises and push-ups can reduce some of the fatty tissue to the chest (in general) and also help develop the pectoralis muscles of the chest which can add muscular shape and volume to the overall chest appearance; however, that does not alleviate the gynecomastic / glandular tissue that is usually behind the nipple. I do believe chest fitness is an important component to "maintenance" of chest fitness in patients to prevent fat accumulation along the chest; however, the exercise will not alleviate gynecomastic glandular tissue. I hope this is helpful.

Answer: Chest Exercises and Gynecomastia Unfortunately, by the time most men finally have their consultation with a plastic surgeon, they have realized that exercise, and to some extent, diet, have not improved their gynecomastia. While upper body workouts may improve your overall appearance, the protuberant appearance caused by the glandular tissue remains unchanged.

Answer: Exercise / gynecomastia If the gynecomastia is due to glandular growth, exercise will not improve this. If is mostly fat, that can reduce some with exercise but not the gland. This is best treated with excision. Hope this helps.
