Give it time

Robert M. Jensen, MD answers: Sunken chest after Male Breast Reduction

Chest sunk in behind nipple after Gynecomastia surgery 3 weeks ago. Will this improve any with time? Chest has very minimal fat left and sinks in when I flex pec or raise arm.

I would certainly give it some time,. Often this type of problem will correct itself as the swelling goes down and there is some filling in of the tissues.  If things haven't improved after 3 to 6 months , the indentation can be corrected with some fat injections.
