I am a male; I had this done during vaser surgery. I am not happy with the results and wish I never did this. Is there any way to revers these results?

Answer: Fat Transfer to Pecs "Buyer's Remorse"
Reversing fat grafting is much harder than the original operation because the fat is placed in string-like "structural" fashion in many different planes. This is particularly so in the male chest where fat placed inside the pectoralis muscle is impossible to retrieve. Attempting to do so involves blind trauma to the muscle with prolonged swelling, bleeding and muscle weakness and scarring.
The other factor to consider is that the removal or attempted removal may be associated with a worse deformity than your perceived deformity now.
Ask your Plastic surgeon what he suggests. I would start there.
