Crater deformity after gynecomastia surgery: repair with fat graft or fat flap? (photo)

carl888
I had gynecomastia surgery (excision+lipo) on the right chest about 6 months ago(already the revision of a prior surgery) that left me with crater deformity.With relaxed chest the crater is hardly visible,with arms raised/chest flexed it`s obviously.Already visited another ps to discuss options.He suggested fat grafting.Also did internet-research and read about fat flap technique .Can you tell,when looking at my pics, whether you would recommend fat graft or fat flap to fix this? Tank you.
