Why do I still have "man boobs" 2 years post-op? (photos)

Question

I have done with liposuction surgery. I still have big man boobs after 2 year so tell me whether it is fat gland or seroma?

Dear Humorous330053,
I understand your concern. If you have enlarged glandular tissue, then liposuction won't be able to remove it all. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Hey Humorous330053, 
Thank you for your question and photographs. For the best-personalized advice photographic evaluation is not enough. An in-person consultation is a must. Thank you humorously for your question and photographs. Without a personal examination, it is difficult to say perfectly. However, based on the information provided here and the photo, it appears that there is a male breast component. It could be due to hormonal changes, weight gain, or redevelopment of residual gynecomastia following surgery.

Please consult with your plastic surgeon or a board-certified plastic surgeon near you and discuss in detail. Best of luck, Dr. Milan Doshi Mumbai, India

The fullness in the breast area, which men hate, is almost always due to a mix of glandular tissue, fat and fibrous tissue. Any type of liposuction, can only remove some of the fatty tissue. Almost all of the men, that i treat are very self-conscious and I believe, are better served, the by more aggressive direct excision. You do not have seromas bilaterally (both sides) 2 years after your liposuction. If you want them flatter, you will need to do a direct excision.
