Sunken Chest After Male Breast Reduction

I agree with prior post.  Too early to draw conclusions. A photo would help.  However, don't sweat it because even if a depression develops it can be filled in.  Follow up with your doc and express your concerns.

It is way too early to assess the final result of this surgery.  Give it 6 months and address any concerns with your surgeon.  Good luck and be safe.John T.

It’s not unusual to have minor contour irregularities
following male breast reduction surgery. These changes are related to
post-operative swelling and scarring and tend to improve with time. They often
present as lumps, bumps and contour irregularities. Minor deformities of this
type, often respond to compression and massage.

                  In
some cases these deformities may be severe and require secondary surgical
intervention. The majority of these cases require fat grafting and liposuction
of the surrounding areas to improve contour.

                  It’s
very difficult to know what treatment will be necessary to correct your
particular problem. In most patients who are three weeks post-op, wound healing
is a very dynamic phenomena and significant improvement can be anticipated.

                  It
usually takes six to twelve months before a decision can be made regarding
revisional surgery. It takes at least this long for swelling and scarring to
completely resolve. It’s important to discuss these issues with your surgeon
who can reassure you regarding your clinical course.
