Had gynecomastia surgery but there's still fat left in my chest area. The incision and excision method wasn't used and now the fat seems to be increasing every day. Why is this happening and what can be done about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's possible for gynecomastia surgery to leave some residual fat, and the feeling of increased fat can be due to several factors, including swelling, scar tissue, and the way the skin has settled. While the surgery itself removes the breast tissue and fat cells, there can be some fat left behind, and the remaining fat cells can increase in size if there are changes in your diet or activity levels.
