Answer: Asymmetry After Gynecomastia Surgery Hi Ibra,Thanks for the post. There could be a variety of reasons why someone is asymmetric. It could be because they have excess breast tissue on one side, excess fatty tissue on one side, or musculoskeletal asymmetries (pectoralis is larger or ribs curve differently on one side than the other). Musculoskeletal asymmetries cannot be corrected with gynecomastia surgery. That being said, at 5 weeks you are still relatively early in the recovery and so one side could be more swollen than the other. I recommend you wait until you are closer to 6 months before evaluating your chest. The asymmetry you have now may resolve with more time. Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand
