How to Reduce Man Boobs

To reduce man boobs through non-surgical means there has to be a number of ideal conditions in place.

There are essentially two different types of man boobs (gynecomastia, gyno, bitch tits).

One is from excess fatty tissue surrounding the chest area.

The other is from increased mammary gland tissue.

Fatty tissue is much easier to get rid of than hardened glandular tissue.

Ideal Conditions to Get Rid of Man Boobs

1. The offending tissue has to be from surrounding fat.
2. It can not be from increased mammary gland tissue.
3. Overall weight needs to be lost.
4. Estrogen levels need to decrease.

Man Boobs from Surrounding Fat

If your excess breast tissue is from extra fat, your body can naturally decrease it on it’s own. Since fat cells can shrink through better nutrition, exercise, and a better hormonal profile, it makes the condition much less permanent.

Man Boobs and Mammary Gland Tissue

However, mammary gland tissue is not as easy to reduce as fat tissue unfortunately. Once the tissue has hardened from excess amounts of the hormones estrogen and prolactin, surgery is the only option for its removal.

No matter how hard you try, diet, exercise, and decreased hormone levels won’t impact the size of the glandular tissue.

Lose Weight to Reduce Man Boobs

It is very hard to for your body to spot reduce fat from a specific area of the body… namely the chest area we are trying to target. In order to lose fat from the chest, fat needs to be lost every where else on the body as well.

The long and the short of it is… this can only be done through diet and exercise. Old fashioned hard work. It’s not what a lot of people want to hear, but it’s the truth.

You’ll find as your body fat percentage goes down along with the scale weight, your chest will appear smaller as well.

Reduce Estrogen Levels

Increased estrogen levels can cause your body to store fat similar to how a woman stores fat, in the hips and chest.

To decrease estrogen levels there are a number of methods; from nutritional, supplemental, to medicinal.

Anti-Estrogen Nutrition

If you stick to these recommendations you can reduce man boobs easily and effectively without resorting to surgery.

If surgery is an option that’s needs to be explored due to hardened gland tissue, talk to your doctor. A referral to a trained plastic surgeon experienced in gynecomastia surgery is the best way to go to ensure proper treatment.
