Excess Body Fat on Man's Upper Chest (Gynecomastia)

The over-development of breast tissue in males is called gynecomastia. Being overweight is normally the cause of this - you don't have to be obese to notice the syndrome, but chances are you are at least 20 pounds overweight, with a typical male 'apple shape'.

Your fatty body tissue produces the female hormone oestrogen, which stimulates the development of fat in the breast area. If you lose weight (all over) you will reduce oestrogen levels and the 'breasts' will reduce in size.

You should also reduce alcohol consumption if you are a heavy drinker. Alcohol abuse reduces the ability of the liver to break down complex steroid hormones and can make gynaecomastia worse. Lastly, regular exercises to strengthen the pectoral chest muscles should help to improve your chest profile too.
