Even asking this question may be difficult for some men. Most men can reduce the amount of fat on the chest with weight loss. But if you are suffering from more than extra fat in the chest area, or diet and exercise have not worked, you will need a surgical solution. A male breast reduction is a two-part treatment that reduces fat through liposuction and the removal of excess glandular breast tissue, which is responsible for the enlarged appearance of the area.

When a man is suffering from gynecomastia — over-developed or enlarged male breasts — the only way to truly reduce the size of the breast tissue is through surgery. Although weight loss can help reduce fat, it will not affect the breast tissue. Male breast reduction surgery is your answer here, and it will give you a flatter, more toned look.

Again, without surgery, you may be able to decrease fat in the area if you lose weight or build muscle through exercise. But if you have a condition of over-developed breast tissue, you will not be able to achieve the results you are looking for without breast reduction surgery.
