It's been 2 months since my gynecomastia surgery and I am scared that this issue of mine will not go away without further surgery. As you can see my right side nipple area is rather deformed compared to my left side. My doctor assures me that I do not have a crater deformity but just loose skin because i had 58 grams of tissue removed on my right and only 30 grams on my left. However I am still not fully convinced and would like a second opinion from other doctors as to what they think I have.
