How Much Weight is Typically Lost After Male Breast Reductions?

Gynecomastia (and even liposuction) aren't weight loss tools.  The amount of weight lost from these procedures is small (just a few pounds). As far as diet is concerned, I would recommend a well balanced diet.  Gynecomastia is breast tissue not fat. Things like soy products may exacerbate it so it may be a good idea to avoid soy.Nothing fancy is necessary.  Once the gland is excised it should be a permanent result. 

The amount of weight lost from a male breast reduction is minimal. It's more about recontouring the area to make it more aesthetically pleasing. It could be from mere grams to just a couple of pounds. The procedure shouldn't be perceived as a weight loss method.After your surgery, you should follow a healthy diet that's well-balanced. There really is no special diet. Just eat wisely and continue exercising to maintain your results.

Gynecomastia reduction surgery should not be viewed as a technique for weight reduction.  This surgery is intended to recontour the shape of the chest.  Good luck
