Will there be a crater deformity if all breast tissue and fat tissue are removed?

February 26, 2017
Asked By:arianklea92 in Rome, GA

I have read a lot about this issue and It is always the case that a crater deformity will take place. My question is if the fat tissue and breast tissue are completely removed, the chest will be completely flat and so the crater deformity will not be that visible. Could you please give me your opinion on this? because I am planning to do the surgery but I am really worried because I don't want to leave any thing underneath and I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. Thank you.
