Crater deformity correction with fat?

Crater deformities occur when there has been over correction in the center of the breast. Also the surrounding tissue is usually under corrected. Sometimes the skin can stick down to the muscle causing a retraction deformity. Correction of these must be individualized depending on what was done. A combination of further liposuction, fat grafting and / or fat flaps can be used. Take your time before proceeding and good luck.

40% of my practice is revision surgery from surgeons who have removed too much gland or not enough. I have been doing gynecomastia surgery since 1989, and yes, crater deformity can be corrected with fat transfers or a fat flap.  I much prefer a flap, if possible, it works much better and more predictable. I offer complimentary consultations via phone or Skype. Good luck.

Excision of too much tissue to treat gynecomastia may result in a greater deformity on the chest.  This sunken appearance does not appear natural and can be just as distressful as having excessive breast tissue.  In order to correct this deformity fat transfer from another location can be used to fill in this defect.  A board certified plastic surgeon experienced in both gynecomastia and fat grafting should be able to help you.
