Contour irregularity with gynecomastia surgery

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD answers: Can a crater deformity be fixed after gynecomastia?

Is there anyway to fix a crater deformity from a bad gynecomastia surgery? My nipple and area around it sinks in when I raise or flex my arm. I do not have anymore fat on my chest that can be removed to lessen the contour difference. Any advice or guidance would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Contour irregularities can be improved after aggressive gynecomastia surgery, but preventing these contour irregularities is the mainstay of therapy.  Fat grafting and breast prostheses that are customized are long term solutions.
