Permanent fillers for male gynaecomastia crater scar (apart from autologous fat)?

Question

Hi, l've twice tried autologous fat transfer to fill in some pretty deep inkwell scars from gynaecomastia surgery (original op performed several years ago). Asides from further fat transfer operations (which may / may not work), are there any permanent fillers available?

Thanks for your question.

I would never recommend permanent fillers as they can have problem in terms of infections, nodularities and migration.

Fat transfer does work but you need to find an expert plastic surgeon as results can be very different depending on the technique used.

I'm so sorry you have experienced this. In my practice, I have had much success with fat grafting to men who required surgical revision after another plastic surgeon was too aggressive with gynecomastia surgery.Meticulous placement and harvesting of fat is required in order for the fat to develop it's own blood supply and persist permanently. A plastic surgeon with extensive experience with fat grafting could probably help you.
