What if my chest ends up caved in?

"What if too much fat is taken out and my chest ends up caved in?"

How much to remove, and how much to leave

Gynecomastia surgery is not a procedure where removing more is better. You take out what needs to come out, and at the same time you plan how much to leave so that the contour of the chest still flows naturally. When that balance is lost, shape problems such as the hollowing this patient worried about can occur.

So I went through this with him during the consultation: how hollowing happens in the first place, and how the surgery is planned to avoid it. He told me the explanation took a good deal of the worry away, and the surgery itself went as planned. Of course, tissue condition and recovery differ from person to person, so what applies to you specifically is something to confirm in an examination.

That was his answer when asked about his impression of the clinic.

If you walk in carrying anxiety about an operation and the space feels disordered, that anxiety only grows. A tidy environment and calm reception are, I think, part of the guidance itself. We keep working on it so that people can relax a little even before they sit down in the consultation room.
