Surgery is needed

A true crater or dish deformity is a problem. It can not be correct without some type of revision surgery. Sometimes it requires fat transfer, liposuction of the surrounding area for blending, excision of more glandular tissue or a combination. The gym will not help. see video

Treatment of post Gynecomastia depression

Whenever it is possible local Adipose (fatty tissue) flap should be done.This method of treatment has the best chance to succeed.Lipo suction of the surrounding tissue and fat transfer are less predictable. see video

Deformity correction after gynecomastia surgery

Hello and thank you for the question. This is a common sequelae, especially in men who have large gynecomastia masses requiring resection. Your options are to perform lipoplasty in the surrounding area to blend in the deformity, to perform a fat transfer into the deformed area, or a combination of both. This correct treatment or combination will depend on the severity of your deformity. Consult with Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation and to discuss your options... more

Gynecomastia

Over resection can be a problem to correct. The gym will not improve it. SOmetimes lipsuctin of the periphery helps or even fat grafting

A posted photo showing this deformity would allow us to answer better. I bet the gym will not correct this.

Crater after gynecomastia

This condition can occur if too much of the breast tissue has been removed. No amount of exercise will improve this. Fat injections once healing is coplete may help.

Crater deformity after gynaecomastia correction

This is probably due to excessive liposuction or excision. I would give it at least 6 months as mild contour irregularities will often even out. It is due to removal of too much fat, so I am afraid that exercise will not improve it. The best way to fix it would be fat transfer. Good luck.

Gynecomastia

This is called DISH deformity. The proper treatment is fat transfer..Excercise will not improve it.

Repair of crater deformity after gynecomastia

Hello, Yes, the crater deformity can be fixed. Building the muscle behind it by going to the gym might help if the crater is very shallow and there is body fat to be lost and muscle to be built through diet and excercise. If that does not do it, fat grafting of the crater or completion of excision of all of the gladular tissue if some gladular tissue on the periphery was left behind. All the best, Dr. Repta

Crater deformity

Probably not. It might ba able to be improved upon with further fine liposuction towards the "edges" in order to improve the contour. If the nipples are "stuck" down to the muscle that would be a harder fix.

Gynecomastia revision surgery

Unfortunately, I do not think that going to the gym is going to help. It would behoove you to be examined in person by a well-trained/experience board-certified plastic surgeon for good advice. Best wishes.

Crater deformity after gynecomastia

Although exercise will increase the size of your Pectoralis major muscle, it will probably not correct the central depression after gynecomastia surgery. I agree with my colleagues, first waited at lease six months after the original surgery to see if the situation improves with time. If it doesn't, check back with your surgeon. He/she may want to consider fat injections and/or further peripheral liposuction. If the deformity is very small an injectable filler may... more
