The Problem With Exercising to Reduce Male Breasts
Unlike common weight gain, which involves an increase in fat tissue, gynecomastia involves explicitly the growth of glandular tissue, which is much harder to reduce through lifestyle changes alone.
While exercise is beneficial for overall health and can help reduce body fat, it cannot specifically target the glandular tissue that characterizes gynecomastia. This glandular tissue differs from the fat you can shed through diet and exercise. It does not respond to caloric deficit and muscle toning in the same way. Many men find that despite rigorous exercise routines and strict diets, their chest appearance remains unchanged or actually looks worse as it appears reltively more prominent.
Moreover, exercises aimed at the chest muscles, such as push-ups or bench presses, can increase muscle mass but won’t eliminate the glandular tissue. In some cases, increased muscle mass under the glandular tissue can even make the gynecomastia appear more pronounced. This is why exercise alone often leads to frustration and disappointment for those trying to reduce gynecomastia.
Effective Treatments for Gynecomastia
Surgical procedures like male breast reduction are highly effective for men seeking a solution to gynecomastia. Dr. Ronald Schuster uses advanced techniques to remove excess fat and glandular tissue, creating a smooth and natural-looking chest. By combining liposuction with a small incision on the side of the chest, Dr. Schuster minimizes visible scarring and achieves excellent results.
In some cases, excess skin may need to be addressed if it doesn’t shrink on its own. Dr. Schuster often recommends a compression vest to help the skin adjust, but for more advanced cases, he may remove extra skin to ensure a smooth contour.
When you meet with Dr. Schuster, he will examine your situation, understand your goals, and design a customized treatment plan to provide you with the most effective and appropriate care tailored to your needs.
