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: 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.

Answer: Removing subcutaneous tissues and 50 year old As we age we lose skin elasticity and at the age of 50 your skin doesn’t have the recoil it did when you were young. Some fat and some glandular tissue needed to be left behind to support the skin laxity. Personally I don’t like donuts skin excisions especially on men. The procedure has a tendency to widen the areola overtime. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
