It has been 7 years since I have undergone gynecomastia surgery. On reading some of the answers here, I understand that my surgeon has removed too much tissue. My sunken chest looks ugly. When I touch the area it feels hollow. Can I improve it by doing incline dumbbell fly and by taking a lot of protein? Please help.
Answer: Can I Rectify Sunken Chest After Gynecomastia with Incline Dumbbell Fly? Pictures would be very helpful in answering this question. Certainly increasing the muscle bulk of your chest would help with its appearance. However, if you have deep contouring irregularities, this may require fat grafting or other revision surgery. See your surgeon for details. Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Correcting Gynecomastia overcorrection
Improvement could be achieved via muscle growth with exercise. However, the use of fat grafting via injection is another alternative option.

Answer: Can I Rectify Sunken Chest After Gynecomastia with Incline Dumbbell Fly Hi Hyderabad,Thanks for the post. A goto would be helpful to give you more directed advice. Depending on the severity of the concavity muscle building may help. However if there is significant concavity, then it would need to be replaced. The most straightforward approach is to perform liposuction and then transfer the fat to the areas of concavity. This may need to be repeated if there is fat resorption. Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand

Answer: Indentation after gynecomastia surgery
Thank you for the question.
It is not at all uncommon to have an indentation after gynecomastia surgery, especially if you had considerable volume removed. Correction of this can be achieved with fat transfer to the area. Consult with your plastic surgeon to further discuss these options.
Best of luck,

Answer: Correction of a Sunken Chest Deformity after Man Breast Surgery Modern Liposuction techniques have enabled us to improve the vast majority of Gynecomastia (Man Boobs") cases. Unfortunately, a slight over-removal of breast tissue may result in a sunken area ("Shot Glass Deformity") where the scar becomes adherent to the chest wall. Such areas can be improved with minimal undermining and placing fat grafts thereby raising the depression.
Merely working on the Pectoralis muscle will not correct the area of depression.
Good Luck.
