Can chest-expanding exercises reduce breast size?
In general, chest-expanding exercises can help reduce breast size, but only for cases where enlarged breasts are caused by fat accumulation. This method requires long-term persistence, and results vary from person to person. For more noticeable breast reduction, medical aesthetic procedures such as cryolipolysis, radiofrequency body contouring, carbon dioxide laser lipolysis, liposuction, or breast reduction surgery may be considered. It is recommended to consult a professional medical institution.
