Gynecomastia in Scottsdale: Male Chest Contouring with Dr. Shaun Parson
Confidence can be deeply connected to how you feel in your own body — and for many men, enlarged or excess chest tissue can be a source of frustration. Gynecomastia, often referred to as “male breast enlargement,” affects men of all ages and body types.
At Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, patients seeking gynecomastia surgery in Scottsdale trust Dr. Parson for his advanced techniques, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a more masculine, natural-looking chest contour.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of male breast tissue caused by a hormonal imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. It can also be influenced by weight fluctuations, medications, genetics, or puberty.
While exercise and weight loss may reduce fat, they often cannot eliminate the firm glandular tissue beneath the nipple — making male breast reduction surgery the most effective treatment for a flatter, more sculpted chest.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
Common causes include:
- Hormonal changes during puberty or aging
- Use of anabolic steroids or certain medications
- Genetic predisposition
- Weight gain or obesity
- Endocrine or metabolic disorders
During your consultation, Dr. Parson performs a thorough evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether true glandular gynecomastia or fat-dominant fullness (pseudogynecomastia) is present — an important distinction for customizing treatment.
Treatment Options: Surgical Precision for Natural Results
Dr. Parson customizes every gynecomastia surgery based on the patient’s anatomy and severity of tissue. Procedures may include:
- Liposuction: Removes excess fat from the chest for a smoother contour.
- Excision of glandular tissue: Through a small, hidden incision around the areola.
- Combination approach: Addresses both glandular and fatty components for optimal symmetry and tone.
Surgery is performed under anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical suite. Most procedures take one to two hours, with minimal downtime.
Recovery and Results
After surgery, patients typically wear a compression garment for several weeks to support healing and reduce swelling. Most men return to work within a few days and resume exercise in about four weeks.
As swelling subsides, the chest appears flatter, firmer, and more masculine. Scars are discreet and continue to fade over time. Results are long-lasting when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
You may be a good candidate if you:
✅ Have persistent chest fullness that does not improve with diet or exercise
✅ Are at a stable, healthy weight
✅ Have firm, elastic skin with good tone
✅ Are emotionally and physically healthy
Dr. Parson’s goal is to restore confidence — not just physically, but emotionally as well.
