Does skin tighteners help man boobs?

Nope,: You need weight loss and/or plastic surgery, depending on the tissue make-up of the gynecomastia--predominantly fat, mixed fat/gland, or predominantly gland. Lose weight first, then see an abps-certified plastic surgeon for advice about surgery to correct what remains. No skin tightener of any kind is of any true value (except to the seller). Don't waste your time or money.

Gynecomastia: Removal of breast and fatty tissue is important for correction. Skin tightening alone will not improve appearance.

No: If weight loss doesn't help, see a plastic surgeon about a gynecomastia reduction surgery.
