1 week ago. I realize this is way too soon for me to make any assessments, but I'm really concerned. Please advise away. 1- The ariola incision was not made as a u. will hair cover the incision once it's healed?. 2- I think too much tissue was removed , is there a risk of a permanent deflated look on my chest.

Answer: Is there a risk of permanent deflated look disfigurement after gynecomastia / mastectomy surgery? Consider waiting a few months prior to having any revisions but most likely the gynecomastia tissue under the nipples was removed. The tissue over the chest/pecs may need to be addressed as well. Seek a plastic surgeon with specialty training in gynecomastia surgery.

Answer: Deflated After Gynecomastia It is too early for more surgery. I know this result is not what you anticipated. I'm sorry you are going through this. Discuss your concerns with your doctor and based on your confidence in your doctor ,and their plans for a correction, you may elect to have consultation with other plastic surgeons who specialize in the correction of gynecomastia. This results can absolutely be improved after a period of time. I would suggest that you take photos from every angle to have available in the event you would like to be examined by another plastic surgeon in the future. Growing your hair out may not hide everything, but it can camouflage some scarring and irregularities.
