Asked By:The scuba diver in Miami, FL

Nine months ago I got gynecomastia surgery done. 500cc of tumescent fluid were injected to both sides of chest. 500cc were aspirated from both sides. 400cc of those 500 were fat( each side). Then my surgeon made a periareolar incision to both sides and said there was no gland to be removed. Now 9 months later my chest looks like this. I have a feeling the glands are still there plus maybe loose skin? I am very disappointed. What can be done to accomplish a flat chest with no puffy nipples?
