Can I have a good physique with gyno?

You work hard at the gym, but no matter how much you exercise, your chest still looks puffy or feminine. You have gynecomastia, and you are worried that you will never have the physique you want.

Gynecomastia can be incredibly frustrating. You can build muscle everywhere else, but your chest refuses to look masculine. This can affect your confidence and make you feel like your hard work is not paying off.

Yes, you can have a good physique with gyno, but the glandular tissue will not go away with exercise alone. Gynecomastia surgery removes the excess tissue, allowing your chest to look as masculine as the rest of your body. Dr. Naveed Azhar at Royal Cosmetic Surgery specializes in gynecomastia surgery.

What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue. It is caused by a hormonal imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. It can affect men of all ages. It can occur during puberty, as a side effect of medications, or with aging.

Why Exercise Cannot Fix Gynecomastia

There are two types of tissue in the male chest: fat and glandular tissue. Fat can be reduced with diet and exercise. Glandular tissue cannot. Glandular tissue is firm and fibrous. It does not respond to exercise. This is why even very fit men can have puffy chests.

Can You Have a Good Physique with Gyno?

Yes, but you will always have glandular tissue. Many men build impressive physiques while still having gyno. However, the chest will never look completely masculine. The glandular tissue will still cause puffiness or projection.

How Gynecomastia Surgery Helps

Gynecomastia surgery removes the excess glandular tissue. It may also remove excess fat and skin. The result is a flatter, more masculine chest. Your physique will look balanced and proportional.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?

  • You are a good candidate if you have persistent puffy or enlarged breasts. 
  • You have tried exercise without success. 
  • You are at a stable weight. 
  • You are in good overall health. 
  • You have realistic expectations.

The Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure

Step 1: Consultation Dr. Naveed Azhar examines your chest. He determines if you have glandular tissue, fat, or both.

Step 2: Anesthesia You receive local or general anesthesia.

Step 3: Incision The surgeon makes small incisions around the nipple or in the armpit.

Step 4: Tissue Removal The glandular tissue is removed. Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat.

Step 5: Recovery You wear a compression garment for a few weeks to help your skin heal.

Recovery After Gynecomastia Surgery

You will have some swelling and bruising. This is normal. You will wear a compression garment for 2 to 4 weeks. You can return to work after 1 to 2 weeks. You can return to exercise after 4 to 6 weeks.
