Skin not retracting post gynecomastia surgery - what are my options now? (photos)

January 10, 2022
Asked By:concerned__1 in Independence, Kansas

50 yr old, gyno surgery March 2021. Glands fully removed. I had lipo around my chest done 15 years ago, so no more fat could be removed (from what i understood). No weight gain/loss before/after surgery. He did warn me skin might not retract. My 2 options now are: 1)a donut surgery (remove nipples and pull skin tight) 2)skin extraction which results in a scar under each breast. He thinks 2nd option is best. Of course im worried about scars. Met with my Dr few days ago. Any advice here?
