Title: Can I improve with diet and exercise? PICS
Post by: guy1985 on September 18, 2013, 11:25:36 AM

Doctors,

See pics. Do you think I have gyno? If so I realize it is minor. Do you think I could improve the appearance to an acceptable level with healthy diet and exercise, emphasizing the upper chest, shoulders and upper back?

Thanks.

Your chest doesn't look bad.  You can certainly get improvement with exercise and diet.

Thanks Dr. Silverman

So you would agree that mine is a very minor case? There is some excess gland, but it is more dispersed in pieces rather than concentrated directly below the nipple. Do you have any suggestions for workouts that will lift/raise the lower chest and tighten the skin so it does not protrude? It is somewhat visible in warm temperatures. I'm hoping I can reduce the fat component (although I am skinny already) and build some upper body mass around the shoulders and back I should be able to reach a point where I am content. I know most people say working out won't help, but I'm thinking my case is so minimal that I should be able to improve it.

Bench press, flies and other chest exercises to build the chest.  Diet is also essential for fat loss--exercise alone will not burn enough calories to lose fat.  But you should keep protein intake high and watch carbs and fat.
