Hello, Thank you for explaining your concern so clearly. I understand how distressing it can be to undergo gynecomastia surgery and then be left with a sunken or inward-pulled nipple (crater deformity). At a young age, chest appearance can significantly affect confidence, and your concern is completely valid. Why crater deformity happens Crater deformity usually occurs when: Excess glandular tissue is removed without adequate contour preservation There is loss of fat or soft tissue beneath the nipple Scar contraction pulls the nipple inward This is a known complication after gynecomastia surgery and does not mean anything has gone “wrong” with you. Can it be corrected? Yes, correction is possible, but the approach depends on: Severity of the depression Skin elasticity Amount of remaining fat Scar tissue underneath Surgical / procedural options (in general) Plastic surgeons may consider: Fat grafting (fat transfer / fat flap) to fill the depression Local tissue rearrangement Scar release with volume correction Sometimes a combination approach is needed Fat grafting is commonly used, but results depend on how much fat survives, and more than one session may be required. Important points to know Revision surgery should be done only after proper evaluation Complete perfection cannot be guaranteed, but significant cosmetic improvement is usually achievable Choosing an experienced surgeon for revision surgery is very important Healing and final contour can take several months Role of non-surgical / supportive care While surgery addresses structural issues, supportive treatments can help with: Scar quality Skin texture Healing response Overall confidence and body image support My honest advice You should consult a qualified plastic surgeon who has experience in gynecomastia revision surgery for an in-person assessment. Bring your previous surgical records if available. Avoid rushing into another procedure without detailed discussion of risks, expectations, and outcomes. Your concern is real, and help is available. With the right evaluation and approach, improvement is certainly possible. Warm regards, Dr. Jyoti Kadkol
