I had gynecomastia surgery in later March, which involved both excision of the tissue and liposuction around the area. The surgeon also performed lip on my flanks and belly during the same session. It's been almost a year, and there's some concavity on the left side of my chest, and the right side is uneven. Comparing the result to my chest before surgery, and I'm now preferring my old chest. Am I a good candidate for revision, and if so, what would it involve?
Answer: Gynecomastia revision inquiry Thank you so much for submitting your questions and photo. I’m sorry your outcome is not what you had hoped for. Based on your photos, there are a few things that can be done to improve the appearance of your chest. This could include releasing scar tissue that is tethering your nipple/areolas downward, rearranging tissue beneath the nipple to improve the contour, liposuction to other areas to improve the contour, etc. A board certified plastic surgeon can examine you and discuss a treatment plan that will give you the look you desire. Good luck and thanks again for reaching out.

Answer: Gynecomastia revision Hello, There are some areas that appear to be over- resected and or aggressive scarring. You can try a scar release with fat grafting which should provide some improvement. Sometimes a second fat grafting procedure is needed but each procedure only requires a few tablespoons of fat. Best of luck.

Answer: Gynecomastia revision Dear johnfm, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Gynecomastia or Chest Reduction Revisions Thank you for your question regarding whether you need gynecomastia revision. In regards to your chest, I would suggest you seek consultation. In my opinion, there is concavity and asymmetry in the chest. In my opinion, you would do best with chest augmentation. This can involve several different options. The best option would be chest liposuction of other areas and transferring that fat to the chest. This can help to reestablish the chest. However, perhaps the best option would be the insertion of pectoral implants. Pectoral implants are FDA-approved silicone blocks that can show off your chest. I think you can get excellent results. I think pectoralis implants would provide better results than fat transfer. Please seek a specialist in peck implants. Thank you for your question regarding whether you need revision for your gynecomastia.

Answer: You would be a candidate for revision IMO Dear Johnfm, In my opinion, some fat grafting in your areola area should help the concavity. Speak with a surgeon experienced in fat transfer.
