Post gynecomastia, I'm muscular and especially when flexing, am left with indentions. What options do I have? (photo)

Question

About 10 month ago I had surgery on both sides with lipo

Tim Sayed, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Thanks for the question. Did you wear compression for a few months? It may be that your skin has not fully retracted or you have some skin laxity. Sometimes massage to the chest is helpful, usually in the early few months. If you are having concerns, I recommend you discuss with your plastic surgeon as judicious fat grafting may be appropriate to fill any slight indentations. However, care should be paid in order to minimize the risk of overfilling, which can result in your feeling like the chest is too full again. In most cases, flexion indentations will settle on their own as skin continues to retract but as you get closer to a year out, the skin may be close to its maximal retraction. You can always seek second opinions with in-person examinations as well so you explore your options but I always recommend discussing first with your surgeon who will usually work with you to try to get the situation as improved as possible in pursuit of the same goal for you.

Thank you for the photos but an examination is really needed.  So get your preop photos and see some experts in the area and compare recommendations Dr Corbin
