Ive Had Gynecomastia Surgery when I Was 17 (32 Now)?

Question

over the years since ive noticed an decrease intissue behind the affected nipple leaving a dent when i lift my arm. Also the nipples are out of alignment. This is increasingly bothering me and causing me some distress. I wondered if there are any options for me concerning future procedures to correct this?

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your concern. Fat grafting can help improve the areas of depression and tethering. You will need to lift the areola to make it higher to match the other one. Please see a board certified surgeon for a detailed exam.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

It is rare to have one of these done perfectly, but fat grafting into any areas of depression can be useful.  Liposuctioning the surrounding areas may be helpful as well.  The skin envelope can be altered to make the areolae appear more symmetric.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs HUNDREDS of body contouring procedures each year.

I think I may have answere this question when photos were posted. Dents may be improved with fat grafting. AS for asymmetry of the areola position, unless they wre originally moved or lifted, then this was most likely your normal asymmetry. If you want them at the same height, then the lower one will probably need to be lifted. I will say that without an exam it is tough to say.

Jourdan Gottlieb, MD · Answer

Almost certainly your issues can be improved, but without photos demonstrating the problems, I can't offer any specific ideas. Please consider attaching photos. Better yet is to make a consultation with a plastic surgeon for an evaluation. 

	When you ready for an in person consultation, RealSelf has listings of surgeons in your area. You should consider cross referencing the listings from the The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (plasticsurgery dot org). A listing in the ASPS website assures you that your surgeon is not only board certified,  but also is a member in good standing of the major plastic surgery organization in the U. S.

	Thank you for your question, best wishes.
