Not really: Only very mild forms will respond and I have treated nearly anorexic males with 4% body fat that still require surgery. While some claims of external ultrasound or radio frequency have been made, I have tried and am. It impressed with the results if there is any degree if breast tissue enlargement. Hormone pills are not reliable and not generally recommended. Exercise may camouflage mild cases.

Surgery isThe answer: You could loose some of the fatty tissue by exercise and dieting. But, the gland can be removed only by surgery.

Gynecomastia: Gynecomastia is benign enlargement of breast tissue in males. Causes include normal adolescent development (50% of all males), metabolic disorders, tumors, or from medication side effects. Also, due to normal aging decreases in testosterone, older males can also develop this condition. The good news is, 80% of young males will outgrow this condition. See your primary care doctor for details.
