The 1990′s saw the rise of the tummy tuck and other plastic surgery, usually preferred by women, to reshape the body to get the perfect looking physique without all the hassle of eating a healthy diet and exercising. Now there is a new trend, and amongst men – breast reduction surgery.
Although “man boobs” are a real medical condition called gynecomastia, many men who are just overweight are opting for surgery to remove their breast tissue. Some even have some sculpting done to give the impression of having developed pecs (the pectoralis major muscle) which most men develop with exercise, such as press ups and bench press.
90% of all cosmetic surgery is still carried out on women, however the number of men undergoing breast reduction surgery is rising each year by about 80% per year. These rises are in defiance of the global economic downturn too. The medical community blame the ever increasing peer pressure and male fitness magazines on the rise.
Fortunately many doctors do advise their patients that exercise and diet are the key to removing their excess breast tissue, and not surgery. For men, the same rules apply to losing excess breast tissue as losing any type of fat, and these are set out in our article on how to lose belly fat.
The best solution to losing male breast tissue is to combine a healthy, lean near sugar free diet with plenty of exercise that should include bodyweight exercises such as press ups and also weight training workouts concentrating on the big moves such as squats, bench press and rows.
