Q: I've been diagnosed with gynecomastia with puffy areolas. Will weightlifting, ie. bench press reduce some of the puffiness and present a more a more chiseled appearance?

A: Yes, weight lifting will help. One of the most common causes of gynecomastia is obesity or being overweight. If that is the case with you, please read this. Even if you're not obese or overweight, weight lifting will broaden your chest muscles making the fat over them appear significantly less noticeable.
