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?
Answer: Skin not retracting Thank you for the photos. I understand this is quite bothersome to you. Yes, skin can be removed around the areola. However, this may scar somewhat unpredictably. Other skin tightening options exist, as well as redraping of the tissue. Fat transfer in combination with either of these is also a possibility. Be sure to see someone very experienced and how to improve these types of things. But the good news is, this can get better in the right hands.

Answer: Go for second option Skin retraction has to be addressed properly and therefore I believe won't help in your case. There is excess skin below nipple which has to be removed, trade off being a scar.

Answer: Gynecomastia Surgery For some patients, the skin will not shrink easily even after going through gynecomastia procedure. Excess breast tissue and fat should be eliminated through one or the other liposuction or surgical extraction. The expulsion of this breast tissue and fat, particularly for men who have a bigger measure of it, can bring about hanging skin. It's the treatment of this abundant skin that makes the contrast between gynecomastia medical procedures. After medical procedure, skin and tissue will start to agree and settle during recuperation and it won't forever do as such in a great manner. For this, doctors usually recommend a compression vest for patients who might experience no retraction in their skin. A compression vest is an instrument to assist the body with changing in the manner the patient and specialist want it to, by controlling expansion, offering help and working with skin retraction. The vest should be worn however much as could be expected for the initial one month after gynecomastia medical procedure to accomplish the most advantage.
