Do gynecomastia compression bros like on seinfeld actually work?

NO: Compressive garments like underarmor only camouflage the problem by flattening the breast tissue. It must be surgically removed to be able to return to a semblance of normal again.

Camouflage only: Garments may be helpful after surgical correction of gynecomastia. However, besides camouflaging the prominence, they are not helpful otherwise.
