Why is Fat Recommended to Correct Crater Deformity?

Bret in Atlanta
I'm wondering if a fat transfer (or fat "flaps" or "graft implant") will provide the necessary firmness and support beneath the areola that the gland normally provides. I'm a thin 43 yr old male, with a crater deformity left from a surgery I had as a teen (28 yrs ago) to remove the glands that caused me to have puffy nipples for more than a year. I've regretted having the surgery ever since, and as I have aged the deformity has become more pronounced. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
