Wondering if gynecomastia surgery in Linwood or Haddonfield is right for you? If you’ve been putting in the work—cardio, weightlifting, clean eating—and still see breast-like fullness in your chest, the issue might not be fat at all. It might be gynecomastia: a condition involving excess glandular tissue, not just fat. Unfortunately, no amount of chest exercises will eliminate glandular breast tissue once it’s developed. That’s why some men feel stuck, even after months or years of effort. Exercise is still incredibly beneficial for general health and maintaining a healthy weight—but if you have gynecomastia, no amount of reps or dieting will flatten your chest completely. The frustration of not seeing results despite consistent effort often brings men to consider gynecomastia surgery as the most effective next step.
Why Doesn’t the Fat Go Away?
There’s a common myth that fat can be “spot reduced” through workouts. But even if you lose overall body fat, the chest may still appear soft or feminine if gynecomastia is present. Unlike fat, glandular tissue doesn’t shrink with weight loss or cardio. In fact, in some cases, weight loss can make gynecomastia more noticeable as the surrounding fat diminishes and the gland remains.
You might start to notice that no matter how toned your arms or abs become, your chest still looks out of proportion with the rest of your body. That’s a key sign that you may be dealing with more than just stubborn fat.
What Gynecomastia Surgery Actually Does
Gynecomastia surgery—also called male breast reduction—removes this excess glandular tissue, and often excess fat, through a small incision. Dr. Sood performs this procedure with careful attention to contour and symmetry, restoring a flatter, more masculine chest profile. It’s a permanent solution for a problem that exercise alone can’t fix.
In many cases, liposuction is used in combination with tissue excision for an even more sculpted look. Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.
Still Unsure What You’re Dealing With?
You don’t have to self-diagnose. During a private consultation at the Sood Center, we’ll assess whether your fullness is fat, gland, or both—and help you understand your options.
