Answer: After Gynecomastia Surgery, Chest Has Collapsed Your incisions will go through a maturation #process after gynecomastia surgery. For the first few months they will be red and possibly raised and/or firm. As the scar matures, after 6-12 months, it becomes soft, pale, flat, and much less noticeable. You may experience numbness, tingling, burning, “crawling”, or other peculiar sensations around the surgical area. This is a result of the #healing of tiny fibers which are trapped in the incision site. These symptoms will disappear. Some people are prone to keloids, which is an abnormal scar that becomes prominent. If you or a blood relative has a tendency to keloid formation, please inform the doctor. Also, as you heal, the area may feel “lumpy” and irregular. This, too, decreases with time, and massaging these areas will help soften the scar tissue. The #compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly you will #heal. It can also assist in the retraction of the skin. If you have any concerns about #healing, its best to ask questions of your surgeon or their nursing staff. It's possible the indentations can be addressed with cosmetic filler(s) if eligible.

Answer: 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.

Answer: 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 must balance their desire to achieve the patient's goals with efforts to avoid over resection and contour deformity.
If the " contour deformity” remains an issue long-term, you may find that your situation will be improved upon with techniques such as fat grafting, use of allograft/dermis as a filler and/or selective liposuction of prominent areas.
I hope this helps.

Answer: 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.
