Does wearing compression vest regularly displaces or flatten the gyno area ?
 Many people in the world use these garments to shape their body as they want.
Eg.
1 World's smallest waist 14inch achieved by woman wearing compression belt on waist.
2 In Japan, women make there feet smaller by wearing tight ropes around the feet for several days.
so can we use  compression belt to shape up our chest and displace the breast tissue from cone shape to flat.

If you wear a compression vest before any surgery is done, it will improve your appearance but it will not have any effect whatsoever on your gyno.

In the past, some Asian societies would bind the feet of young girls to keep them small (a sign of beauty in their culture).  This is different -- the tight binding actually prevented the normal growth of the feet.  Thankfully, this is not done anymore.

I stand corrected -- I guess there are still a few societies were binding/compression is still going on.  But as far as gyne goes, compression alone, without surgery, will not make it go away.
