Weight loss: Many men carry their extra weight in the chest. If your body weight is ideal and you have a flat belly then you may have to consider surgery. If the tissue is firm or hard then it may need to be removed with surgery. Fat can be removed with liposuction even if your not at your ideal weight. A visit to a board certified plastic surggeon will answer these questons.

Surgery: Gynecomastia is corrected with surgery, and it's a very large part of my plastic surgery practice here in orlando. Check out www.Gynecomastia.Org - a great forum. You can also see some of my patients in my website photo gallery: http://georgepopemd.Com/galleries/gynecomastia/.

Many possibilities.: True gynecomastia is overdevelopment of the breast tissue on a man's chest. Once too large, surgery is the only effective method of removal. If the chest is big due to being overweight, weightloss can help reduce the chest fat, but can sometimes make true gynecomastia more noticable. Disproportionate fat will also respond to liposuction. Seek a qualified professional for specific advice.

Surgery Helpful.: I have found that gynecomastia, if persistent, is often best treated with partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area. If the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue, then liposculpture surgery alone may suffice. For patients with excess skin, common after weight loss, skin excision may also be necessary.
