Is this Gynecomastia Crater/Nipple/Inverted Nipple? What could this be? (photos)

Question

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

Based on the pictures posted, you have areas of over resection of fat and or breast tissue, and areas on under resection. Repair will require to be done artfully and may require multiple surgeries. Need in person examination and recommendationsSamir Shureih MD. FACS.sshureih@msn.com

It looks like there are some areas of over-resection.  I agree with your doctor that fat grafting to these areas is the best treatment and it may very well take several sessions.  Also, any tethered scars may need release and revision.  This is a tough problem and correcting it will be process and it is important to be patient.  I am sure your surgeon wants the best result possible.  Good luck.
