FAQs About Male Breast Fat Reduction

Q: Can exercise alone get rid of gynecomastia?

A: Exercise can reduce fatty tissue (pseudogynecomastia) but cannot eliminate glandular tissue (true gynecomastia). If you have firm tissue under the nipple, surgery is the only effective solution.

Q: Is gynecomastia surgery painful?

A: Pain is minimal and well-controlled with medication. Most patients describe mild to moderate discomfort for 3-5 days, easily managed with prescribed pain relievers.

Q: Will gynecomastia come back after surgery?

A: When glandular tissue is removed, it cannot grow back. Results are permanent. However, significant weight gain can cause new fat accumulation.Β
