A. Hormonal and Lifestyle Differences in Male Fat Gain
Testosterone vs. Oestrogen:
Men typically have higher testosterone, which promotes muscle and a leaner body composition. But when
testosterone drops (due to age, stress, or poor sleep), fat accumulation increases — especially in the abdomen
and chest.
Cortisol and Stress:
Chronic stress elevates cortisol, leading to belly fat and metabolic slowdown.
Lifestyle Factors:
Sedentary jobs, alcohol consumption, and high-calorie diets make men more prone to visceral fat (deep
abdominal fat around organs), which is metabolically active and linked to health risks like heart disease and
diabetes.
B. Best Treatments for Common Male Fat Areas
1.Belly Fat:
Non-surgical options:

stress/sleep.
2. Chest Fat (Gynecomastia):
- Caused by hormonal imbalance (low testosterone, high estrogen) or certain medications.
- Treatment options:
- Non-surgical: Hormone evaluation and correction, fat-freezing, or radiofrequency skin tightening.
3. Love Handles (Flanks):
