How To Get Rid Of Moobs
Before you spend anything, work out which of the two you have. Gynaecomastia is glandular breast tissue, firm and sitting directly behind the nipple, and it does not respond to fat reduction, training or diet. Pseudogynaecomastia is fat, and it does. Everything below is about the second one. If yours feels like a firm disc behind the nipple, see your GP first, because no treatment on this page will shift it.
The short version
- First work out which kind you have. Firm tissue directly behind the nipple is gynaecomastia and needs your GP; soft, pinchable chest fat responds to treatment.
- Fat freezing is the main non-surgical option for chest fat at our Newcastle clinic, from £350 an area, with no needles and no time off.
- Chest exercises build the muscle underneath but do not burn the fat on top, which is why diet does the work training cannot.
- Free assessment first, and we will tell you plainly if yours is not fat.
How to get rid of man boobs
Breasts. Yes, men do have breasts and for some it can leave a man feel self-conscious about their appearance.
For the vast majority of men, the breast tissue does not develop like it does in women due to high testosterone levels during puberty. There are several medical conditions that can cause breast enlargement in men. One is gynecomastia, which can cause swollen breast tissue and even breast tenderness. This condition is usually caused by some issue with testosterone, leading to more estrogen in the body. While it isn’t a serious health problem, it can impact confidence levels and affect mental health. Sometimes Gynecomastia can clear up by itself, but always consult your doctor on the best ways to treat this condition.
However, for the majority of men, man boobs are simply a result of having excess fat on the chest. Your pectoral muscles are underneath the layer of fat. So, by losing body fat and gaining muscle, you can work to get rid of your man boobs.

Man boobs treatments: what actually works
There are many non-surgical, non-invasive treatments that help reduce the stubborn fat cells within the chest area. One of the easiest and quest way to get rid of moobs is a treatment called Cryolipolysis, more commonly known as Fat Freezing, is the most effective solution to troubled man boobs. Fat Freezing can target very specific areas, to help reduce excess fat. Our page on male chest fat treatment in Newcastle sets out the options side by side, and what to expect at our Whickham clinic.
Fat freezing for man boobs
Fat Freezing, or Cryolipolysis involves controlled cooling of below -9 degrees that destroys the fat cells with freezing temperatures. These fat cells die naturally by a process known as apoptosis, and are eliminated over the following few weeks post-procedure. Full results are seen 6 to 12 weeks, although many clients start to see results within 4 weeks post-treatment. Fat Freezing is completely pain-free and non-invasive treatment takes around 45 to 60 minutes in total and requires no downtime at all, so you can continue with your day as normal.
The fat freezing procedure involves controlled cooling within the temperature range of below -9°C. This destroys the fat cells through a natural process called apoptosis (natural cell death), other cells are not as sensitive to fat freezing and are therefore unaffected. As the fat cells are destroyed they leave the body through the lymphatic system. As a result there is an average reduction of the thickness of the fat layer in the region of 25% to 40%. It is recommended you book a face-to-face consultation appointment first to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

Exercises that target the chest
Fat Freezing is the best non-surgical treatment on the market for fat reduction around the chest. You cannot target fat loss in one particular area on the body, but you can work to strengthen the muscles in specific areas. If you’re looking to lose weight, getting regular cardiovascular exercise can help. Try activities like walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling. You can get a decent chest workout at home by doing push-ups. Or, you can head to your local gym. There are many different weight machines that are often available at a gym. Here are three chest-specific workouts you can try at a gym:
Barbell Bench Press
Set your barbell on the rack and position yourself to take the medium grip on the bar.
- Lift the bar and hold it straight over your body.
- Breathe in as you lower the bar mid-chest.
- Breathe out as you return back to your starting position.
Lowering the bar should take longer, twice as long, than raising it back up. When you’ve completed your set, return the bar back to the rack.
Pec Deck Machine
Before you sit at the machine, select how much weight you want to work with using the sliding pins.
- Adjust the seat so the handles are the same height as your chest.
- Sit down and grab the bar handles, and bring them toward one another as you exhale and contract your chest.
- Return to your starting position with an inhale.
Always keep your elbows slightly bent. Also keep your back arched. This will help you target your chest rather than your shoulders.
Bent-Forward Cable Crossovers
- Select your desired weight from both sides of the machine before you start.
- Stand in the middle of the machine and grab the handles with your palms down.
- Lean your body over (maintaining a flat back) so the cables line up with your chest muscles.
- Push your arms down and in toward each other (crossing over) as you exhale.
- Return to your starting position slowly with an inhale.
Diet makes the difference training cannot
Losing weight through diet is another way to get rid of excess fat all over your body. Try making small changes to your overall eating routine. For the most sustainable weight loss, aim to lose around one to two poundsTrusted Source each week.
Consuming fewer calories from food and beverages doesn’t need to leave you hungry. Instead of thinking about all the foods you cannot eat on your diet, think about what you can add into your day. Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and high in nutrients, water, and dietary fiber.
These tasty snacks, for example, contain just 100 calories (or fewer):
- Medium apple or banana
- Cup of steamed green beans
- Cup of blueberries
- Cup of grapes
- Cup of carrots, broccoli, or bell peppers plus two tablespoons hummus
Lymphatic drainage for chest swelling
Not all chest fullness is fat. Fluid retention and sluggish lymphatic flow can make the area look puffier than it actually is, which is why lymphatic drainage comes up so often alongside fat reduction. We use Body Ballancer lymphatic drainage at our Newcastle clinic for exactly this, and it works alongside fat reduction rather than replacing it. At your free, no-obligation assessment we'll tell you which of the two is going to make the difference in your case, or whether you need both. RT Aesthetics is a medically led clinic in Whickham, Newcastle. Book a free assessment or see our packages.
