An In-Depth Look

Gynecomastia isn’t just “chest fat.” It’s a mix of soft fat and a firm gland that sits just beneath the areola. Each behaves differently, so each requires its own solution. Liposuction removes the fatty layer that softens chest borders, while gland excision removes the dense tissue diet and training can’t touch.

Dr. Larson plans removal depths, incision placement, and contour transitions so the chest lies flat. His goal is proportional definition, not exaggeration. Small details like incision angles, drain duration, and scar maturation are planned early, because getting flat is about precision.

What Gynecomastia Surgery Treats

Many men notice a lingering fullness that no amount of cardio or cutting calories fixes. Shirts cling awkwardly, gym progress doesn’t make a difference, and a puffy areola can make even a lean chest look soft. True gynecomastia is a combination of fat and firm glandular tissue, while pseudogynecomastia is mostly fat.

We diagnose and treat accordingly—thinning the fat, removing the gland, or both. The result is a chest that reflects your actual build, where muscle reads cleanly and effort finally shows.

What It Treats:
  • Excess breast tissue

Our Process

Dr. Larson examines tissue type, skin elasticity, and areola placement, then shows you side-by-side examples so you can visualize realistic outcomes. If your area of concern is mostly fat, he recommends targeted liposuction for even blending. If it’s glandular, he plans a discreet periareolar incision to remove it directly.

We can perform your procedure while you’re under local or light general anesthesia, depending on the scope. Most patients go home the same day. You’ll leave with a garment that supports early contour settling and clear, written aftercare instructions.

Follow-ups include photo checkpoints to document healing and confirm symmetry. As swelling fades, we’ll guide you through scar care, sun protection, and timing your return to training.

We Cultivate Confidence 

Board-Certified Chest Expertise

Dr. Larson treats the underlying issue—fat, gland tissue, or both—with measured technique so the chest lies flat and looks natural in a T-shirt, at the gym, and on camera.

Diagnosis Before Decisions

We show you what’s fat and what’s gland through tailored exams and photos. Then, we explain why liposuction, excision, or both make sense, and outline exactly what that means for you.

Recovery That Fits Your Life

Compression, check-ins, and the return-to-training ladder are paced around work, family, and the Arizona heat. Simple scar care and clear milestones keep progress steady.
