I have gotten lipo+excision on my gynecomastia, I feel too much fat has been removed. Also since im a Med School student I was wondering is fat grafting really necessary cant I just eat like a pig and try to grow fat because don't cells have the ability to divide and grow as per requirement? Also back to my real question will I be able to work out and sculpt my chest contour to make it look natural without dimpling which may be caused by excessive lipo.?

Photos would be helpful

I am not sure what your issues are? Were you over -resected and left with inverted areas underneath the areola? If this is the case sometimes fat grafting can be done to improve the contour. The ocntour you can achiueve really depedns upon your overall body habitus and how you looked both before and after sugery. Hard to say without photos or at least an exam.

This problem is difficult to correct. I do not recommend "pigging out" as this will not improve the situation and may actually make it worse. I recommend that you see an experience plastic surgeon for an in person consultation and discussion regarding your options for improving your situation.
