Hello, Im a 41 year old male who had Gynecomastia surgery 4 months ago. I have an upcoming visit with my surgeon and honestly, I dont know what to ask other than Im a little disappointed. I had full gland removal and liposuction and as per doctors orders, work out and losing weight. I expect there to be some improvement but Im also coming to terms with the fact that this is my 95% outcome. Looking for guidance from the experts as my surgeon last time mentioned there will always be craters and my nipple/skin fold is from stretched skin. Should I consider a revision with my surgeon? Any specific questions I should ask? Also, what is the weird chord running down? I have it on both sides and my surgeon says hes never seen them. They appeared after surgery.
Surgery was 5+ years ago and from a seemingly inexperienced general surgeon (I was dumb and broke at that point in the life). Anyway, I now understand the importance of a skilled plastic surgeon but would like some input on how bad this is in the grand scheme of things and how difficult it would to regain a normal appearance on the left side of my chest.
Is there anyway to fix a crater deformity from a bad gynecomastia surgery? My nipple and area around it sinks in when I raise or flex my arm. I do not have anymore fat on my chest that can be removed to lessen the contour difference. Any advice or guidance would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi there. I had gyro surgery back in October 2015. Its now August 2018 and this is what my chest looks like. It seems that the nipple is almost stuck to the skin and a big hole is there which makes my upper chest stick out. Its worse on the left side since I had a bigger mass taken out at the time of surgery. The worst id the side. Most cases I've read peoples chests look normal when their arms are by their side and it looks weird when their hands are raised. It seems to be the opposite for me.
Hello all, I had gynecomastia surgery 4 months ago and I had love handles liposuction Now my left side nipple has a crease and I am panicking that it may be crater deformity, and one of my love handle feels uneven. Your help will be highly appreciated regarding treatment options I have.
Follow-up post to provide more pictures. Surgeon may have removed too much tissue/fat from my chest creating indentations/craters, or perhaps he was too aggressive with the liposuction. The craters are more prominent when my arms are lifted but are still noticeable with my arms by my side. The crater on my left appears to be larger in size, too. Will this likely need a fat transfer/graft in the future or will time and healing fix this issue?
It appears like too much fat/tissue was removed from the chest, causing an indentation/crater. Its very noticeable on my left and slightly noticeable on the right. Possibly this was from excessive liposuction, creating an imbalance to the surrounding tissues. Crater becomes more prominent when arms are lifted but is still noticeable with my arms resting by my side. Does this look like crater deformity?
i seen online someone using fat flaps i read fat grafts either disappears or turned to scar tissue in allot of cases if this is possible can u point me in the direction of someone who can fix my creators in the uk??? i have not seen a pic or spoken to 1 successful revision case
Now it's been one year after my gynaecomastia surgery. When I raised my hands craters occurs on both sides of the chest. Also left side nipple indent towards the body. I feel some hardness under that nipple. What is this issue and can it be corrected?
I've had a gynecomastia surgery for gland removal in 2019. However, it has left a significant crater deformity on both sides. What is the best treatment to achieve a smooth, round and fuller contour? Do I need some liposuction around my areolas or instead fat grafting to fill the craters? If filling is required, what is the best procedure: fat injections or using fat flaps?
