Losing weight will often not change gynecomastia and not necessary prior to male breast reduction surgery

A common misconception is that all men with Gynecomastia are overweight; but this is often not the case. Weight loss in men with Gynecomastia can make the chest fullness look WORSE! If the amount of fat around the enlarged breast gland shrinks with weight loss, the enlarged breast gland becomes more prominent in appearance and stands out even more which can make it look worse. The gland is solid and does not fluctuate with weight loss.

That’s what makes having gynecomastia so frustrating for men who have it. The bad news is that there isn’t much you can do to treat it yourself no matter how hard you work out of diet. The good news is that it can be successfully treated when you consult a highly qualified gynecomastia surgeon in the greater Boston area such as Dr Edwin Ishoo at Boston Gynecomastia Specialists and have it permanently treated by a simple office-based surgical procedure.
