1 month post-op. Do my results look normal? Will the depression on the left and puffiness on the right go away? (photos)

Question

I got my Gyno grade 1 surgery done nearly 1 month ago. Today, I see a bit depression on the Left side and Puffyness on the right side. Is it normal? Will it go away with time? Do I need a revision? Thanks!

Thank you for your question and photos. I assume these are your postop photos due to the unsightly depressed skin puckers. Unfortunately, you still have a lot of tissues left on the chest. Without a physical examination, it is not possible to tell if this is just excess fat or glandular tissue as well.I use the VASER liposuction technique to remove the fat, define the pectoral muscle, remove fat from the lateral chest wall and define the anterior border of the latissimus dorsi muscle. This creates a manly chest as opposed to the results you ended up with. I use stealth incisions within the areola and armpits, not leave any signs of surgery.You are still somewhat swollen, wear your compression vest. I believe you will need a revision or complete redo of your surgery if you want the best results, but wait six months at least. Good luck with your healing.

Thank you for your question and for your photos. Based on your photos provided, I do see the area being depressed. You are still swollen as it is very soon after your surgery. The final result can take anywhere from 6 months to 1 year. I would suggest for you to follow up with your surgeon if you have any concerns.
