Crater Deformity 2 years after Gynecomastia Surgery. Can this be fixed with building muscle mass? (photos)

Question

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Unfortunately, exercise to build muscle will not correct your deformity. Release of your scar and fat transfer as well as dermal fat grafts or local fat flaps by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. (see below link)

#Crater deformity after #gynecomastia surgeryThis deformity cannot be fixed with building muscle mass as the underlying problem is over-resection of your breast and fat and/or excess scar tissue on one side. I recommend talking to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon about correction options which would focus on breaking up your scar and putting back soft tissue overlying your muscle to correct the crater deformity. Fat grafting is a great option for this problem and is fairly simple

Miguel Delgado, MD · Answer

Unfortunately building muscle mass will not correct a crater deformity. There is a surgical procedure that will however, and it is using your own fat by either a fat transfer, fat grafting or a fat flap. Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia for an evaluation to explain your best options. Good luck!
