Question

I did a surgery for gynecomastia a year ago, but I am unhappy with my results as I fell asymmetry between my chest and abdomen surfaces. And also fat grows over sides of chest. Please give me a better advice how to deal with it. If I am going for surgery again then it will look cosmetically better or not?

Thank you for your question and photos. If you had asymmetry before surgery then you will have it after surgery as well. Asymmetry is common in men. I would advise you to follow up with your surgeon with any further concerns.

Thank you for your question and photos your provided! Every man has some level of asymmetry between the left and right sides of his chest. Post op asymmetry is best recognized with before and after photos, so it is difficult to say for sure with just your post op photos here. I would head back to the plastic surgeon who performed your procedure and speak with him/her and move through your progress photos. Some patients have asymmetry before surgery they never noticed! It does appear that your scars are dark, thick and raised. They could be keloids which can be treated in a multitude of ways such as kenalog injection.
