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: 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.

Answer: Early Post Operative Healing Hi BotchedMan3000,Thanks for the post and the photos. Although you are very early in your recovery I am concerned that you have had too much tissue removed. This is based on your preoperative photo as well as the cratering in the area above your areolas. There is nothing to be done at this point as you should wait at least 6 months to allow the tissues to settle and the skin to re-drape. If it continues to be an unsatisfactory result, I highly recommend that you see a plastic surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia surgery and revision gynecomastia procedures. Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand
