Question 1

hi. i have, what people call, man boobs. is there a way to reduce them. my chest pouts too.  any work out that won't trigger my asthma.? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is: Depending on the reason for your gynecomastia, it is first important to rule out hormonal/medical reasons for having gynecomastia.   Once this is done by your primary care physician, then the surgical options considered by board certified plastic surgeons include: liposuction, direct breast tissue excision, and possibly a breast lift if left with excess skin.

Question 2

what's the difference between chest fat and man boobs?

Accepted Answer

Gynecomastia: You are referring to gynecomastia in the latter.  Fat is just simply that, fat.   Gynecomastia involves an actual breast bud forming which has a more firm texture, actual breast tissue.   Your mom can help you tell the difference.  We see gynecomastia transiently ( for 6 months to a year)  not uncommonly in teenage boys related to the relative proportions of changing hormones.

Question 3

what is the best thing to do to turn man boobs into a toned chest?

Accepted Answer

There is : A surgical procedure I do to correct it. It's done in the office as an outpatient procedure

Question 4

what to do if i'm 19 years old how can i know that i have man boobs or its just a fat..on my chest.?

Accepted Answer

Start by seeing your: Physician who can evaluated to determine if you just have a lot of fatty tissue overall or if this is gynecomastia.

Question 5

can you tell me some good chest exercises to get rid of man boobs?

Accepted Answer

None: If you have true gynecomastia (development of the male breast) which involves glandular tissue - exercise will not help.  Exercise strengthens muscle but doesn't do anything for the overlying soft tissue.

Question 6

if you notice your chest getting flabby. how do you get rid of small man boobs?

Accepted Answer

Range of normal: This is not a definitive diagnosis and does fall along a spectrum. There are clear classes of excessive breast tissue in some makes that can resemble or even exceed normal female sizes. Some forms are due to underlying endocrinologic (hormone imbalance) such as thyroid  whereas others can be due to medications or drugs ( tagamet (cimetidine) or marijuana) . If you have concerns see you pediatrician/internist.

Question 7

i had taking anibolic steroids and i weight 61 but my boobs are a bit bigger. my chest is hard but has a little bit of fat. do i have man boobs?

Accepted Answer

You could have: developed gynecomastia.  Anabolic steroids have many complications, and this is one of them.  It could be irreversible.  Have a surgeon look at it to be sure.

Question 8

i'm a 16 year old male and my chest is larger then average and i'm not sure what is causing it. it's like man boobs but i'm not overweight or anything?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the situa: Pubertal gynecomastia (man boobs) will occur in 1/3 to 1/2 of males ; generally last about a year before fading.Up to 3 years is noted occasionally before disappearing. If present after 3 years, surgical removal of the glandular tissue ; liposuction of any associated fatty tissue will do the job.

Question 9

can under eating cause fat on chest or is there another reason for me being skinny with man boobs (not gynecomastia)?

Accepted Answer

Gynecomastia : This is gynecomastia and usually related to hormone changes in someone your age. I highly recommend a check up by your pediatrician and possibly a breast specialist.
This will most likely go away by the time puberty is complete.

Question 10

i am 6'4" and around 250 lbs and i want to lose weight. how i can decrease the size of my chest (man boobs) and stomach?

Accepted Answer

Calories in n out: See the excellent answers on "weight loss".  You basically need to burn more calories than you take in.  Increase your exercise, choose healthier, less-caloric foods and drinks.  The nice thing is that if u build more muscle you will even burn more calories while you sleep!  and don't focus too much on weight.  Focus more on pants-size, etc.  Muscle weighs more than fat but that's ok--its good wt.
