How to remove scarring with male breast liposuction? (Photos)

July 1, 2017
Asked By:blisteredfate in Coles Corner, Washington

Hello! I underwent liposuction touch up on my left chest about 3 weeks ago (previously had liposuction on both breast for gynecomastia a year ago but was uneven as left side still had more fat). My left nipple now looks fine when relaxed but when I flex the left chest it looks weird and has this "stapled" look to it. The nipple doesn't move freely and feels firm. Is there such thing as scar tissue adhesion? What do I need to do now? This is driving me crazy thinking it would be permanent. Thanks

Robert Caridi, MD says:

It all depends on how much is there and what zones are treated and what your BMI is. In your case you had rather significant gynecomastia. You are certainly smaller. My experience is that men want things to be really flat without the appearance of a breast, even if it is a lot smaller. I would...
