Asked By:Gorgeous397096 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

In May I will be 6 months post op from Gynecomastia surgery. I’m less than happy with the results, I have cratering on both sides under the areola which is causing it to fold into itself when flexing ever so slightly and unflexed there is a crease running through the middle. I brought this up to my doctor at the 3 month check up and he said it’s normal and it won’t get better because nothings wrong. What should I do?
