Depressions After Gynecomastia Surgery
Board Certified Plastic Surgeons all perform gynecomastia surgery in pretty much the same fashion. We make a small incision at the areolar skin junction and perform liposuction of each breast. Once this is performed the remaining breast tissue is nicely defined. The incision is then extended from the 3:00 to 9:00 position along the skin/areolar junction. The incision should not extend onto the skin. The breast tissue is removed leaving approximately 1cm on the...

Too early to say
I see what you are referring to and I understand your concern. You are still quite swollen and this will improve. To what extent it is difficult to say but contour abnormalities are very common in Gynecomastia surgery. I would reevaluate in six to eight weeks and if your are concerned , discuss with your surgeon. This can be corrected if it persist.

Gynecomastia Surgery and Contour Defromity?
Thank you for the question and picture.
At this stage in your recovery it is much too early to evaluate the end results of surgery.
One of the potential risks associated with gynecomastia surgery is contour deformity related to over resection of glandular tissue and/or adipose tissue. This is a risk that is explained to patients who are undergoing the procedure. Many patients who have gynecomastia are looking for the chest to be as flat as possible. Surgeons...

Deformity after male breast reduction surgery
During gynecomastia surgery, most of the firm breast tissue is removed. A certain amount should be left beneath the nipple to prevent a "saucer deformity" which it looks like you may have. It is a little too early to know what the final outcome will be. If the deformity remains, a combination of liposuction of the surrounding tissue and fat grafting the deficient tissue may be necessary.

Gynecomastia
Although it is a bit early, it looks like you may have had too much removed. But you will need to give it time to settle down.

Gyneomastia
Though it is too early, because you still have some swelling. But it seems that too much breast tissue was taken, and I do not believe any liposuction was done.
The design of the incision makes me think this was not done by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon (American Board Of PLastic Surgery)
Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for full evaluation and treatment, Liposyction of the chest and possible fat grafting, or local tissue transfer.

Unstatisfctory Gynecomatia Treatment
At less than 2 weeks after surgery it is too soon to reach any definitive conclusions. That being said your present result does not seem ideal. You have an omega shaped star which was placed on nplaced rest skin. The crater / shot glass deformity and raised periphery suggest that too much breat gland tissue was removed and, or not enough breast fat tissue was liposuctioned. You should wear a chest compression garment for a month after the surgery and begin to re-evaluate your situation in...
