Asked By:angelds25

After having lipo done about a year ago, still not being happy I decided to get gynecomastia surgery. right after surgery, the right part of the chest started swelling, and I had to go back to surgery room. After one month doctor told me that I needed fat graft, explained to me that fat dies easily and I may need 2 or 3 sessions. One month after the first session he tells me now that I need scar revision, and told me that incision around the areola will have to be enlarged a bit. Thanks in adv
