Question

What can be done to fix the crater I have after gyno surgery? I had surgery 4 years ago (Lipo / gland removed) and when I flex or raise my arm my left pec has a crater in it.

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your
question.Fat transfer will likely be necessary to correct the hollowed area shown in the pictures.

To be sure, see
two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and
complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe
for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

It's unanimous, i agree with the first two surgeon. Depending on the symmetry of the other pec, additional, but minimal, lipo-reduction around the low spot or defect may be needed. Fat augmentation into the defect should clear up the problem, which may need a second treatment as stated.

Michael Law, MD · Answer

Some issues with gynecomastia may resolve on their own while others may require a surgical revision.

Mary Gingrass, MD · Answer

From what I can tell from the photos provided this could be improved with fat transfer.  Agree that it can sometimes take more than one session, although techniques have improved a lot in last 5 years.
