I have had gyno surgery 5 years ago. My chest , when I'm not flexing , looks fine. But when I lift my arms up , as you can see in the picture , nipple area looks caved it. Same thing happens when I push something with my arm , chest caves in immediately I have heard this was called Crater Deformity or Animation Deformity And i have heard that it could be fixed without a surgery by fat-graft injections Is that an option for me? Is my issue fixable without an invasive surgery?
