Appearance: is there a way to get rid of fat in a specific body area (my breast)!


Question: Appearance: is there a way to get rid of fat in a specific body area (my breast) instead of other body parts?
Hi,
I have a mild case of gynecomastia meaning large male breasts. I am wondering if in general there is a way/exercise to reduce fat in a specific body areas but not entire body?
I am asking because other than my fat big male breasts, I am pretty fit and good weight.
I do not want to lose too much weight. THANKS.

Answers:

Yes. It's called liposuction.

It is not possible to lose fat from a specific part of your body of your choosing. Where your body stores and removes fat is determined by your genetics and there is nothing you can do to change that short of radical procedures such as liposuction or hormone therapy. And, in general, where it stores fat first is where it will lose it last and visa-versa. The world of health and fitness has an unfortunate abundance of myths and spot reduction is one of them. There is no exercise, no pill, no supplements, no spa treatment, and no natural way to spot reduce.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, gynecomastia involves breast tissue and not fat. So, if the problem is simply male breasts or enlarged breasts, you nee to see a doctor about possible hormone therapy or surgery. Fat may or may not be a contributing factor. If what you mean by "pretty fit and good weight" means you have minimal body fat, then you're problem is likely to be breast tissue and not fat and diet won't help. That said, most people have more body fat than they realize so dieting might be worthwhile.

Try dieting and see if you can lose from fat from the area or just go consult with your physician.

Good luck and good health!!

I wish I had good news for you but I do not. As far as losing fat, other than liposuction or surgery, there is no non-surgical way to spot reduce fat. You can lose fat over your entire body. Circuit training can help lose fat and build muscle simultaneously so you will maintain your weight because you'll build a little more muscle. But if you want to lose fat just in a particular spot without surgery, that can't be done.

Sorry dude, their is no way to spot reduce fat. However, people are predisposed to carry weight in certain areas and not others. I would exercise and hope that u lose from ur chest.
