When I flex my chest now looks kind of "scooped out". I'm 2 months post op.
There's kind of a dent in one side. Do you think it will stay like this?
I ask because you posted pictures of what you call "deformities" and I can't really see any in their photos. If they're deformed, I must be the Elephant man or something

Do you think it will heal up and be better? Or is that just the way it is sometimes?
Maybe you could fix it.
Crater deformities and adhesions can come in different degrees. Some adhesion injuries can improve over time. Others do not. Options depend on the original problem, surgical technique(s), skill of the surgeon, how someone heals, aftercare, scar care, and other factors.
Documenting the deformity and showing the problem can help others understand your concerns.

This is in addition to the original views on my list. Movies can show the problem even better, but none are the equivalent to an in office evaluation.
Scars can often be revised during
Revision Gynecomastia Male Chest Sculpture Operations. The old scar can be removed, but a new scar is part of the healing process. The nature of the new scar depends on the problem to be treated, how a patient heals, surgical techniques, skill of the surgeon, and many other factors. Such issues are best explored during a consultation after an evaluation.
It is easier to take away than put back. Some small crater deformities can be revised. For other
large crater deformities after gynecomastia surgery, the deformity is just too great. Here is
another deformity complication after another doctor's agressive liposuction.
Hope this helps,
