October 25, 2011
Asked By:Onesight1 in Erie, PA

My doctor did was I feared he was going to do, which was remove too much (or ALL) of the gynecomastia. I had Bilateral gynecomastia surgery that left me with a crater. Also did horizontal cuts :( Right pectoralis = small gland removed.(looks ok) Left pectoralis = Larger gland removed+larger surgical cut used. (left side is my problem area) Pic #1= Mildly flexing immediately after site was drained. Pic #2= relaxed, the following morning. What procedure will fix this?Currently 4 weeks post op.
