Types of Revision Gynecomastia Surgery in LA
Generally speaking, revision gynecomastia usually falls into two categories, which are under-resection and over-resection cases.
Under-Resection Revisions
Patients that have had under-resected gynecomastia surgery still tend to see fullness in their chest area. This can be extremely upsetting for many patients, especially if you consider the cost and recovery they have already undergone.
Before conducting revision gynecomastia, it is critical to determine if the excess tissue is glandular or fatty material. In both cases, patients require further procedures, but they are slightly different depending on the specific case.

Over-Resection Cases
A patient with over-resection poses a more difficult challenge mainly because they usually have contour abnormalities. These abnormalities will likely include dents, tethering of the areolas to the muscle, and flexion deformities. These patients may also have under-resection in other areas of their chest which will make the over-resected area much more pronounced. Typically, the only options for these patients, aside from silicone implants (which have their own risks), are fat grafting or fat flaps. Dr. Dadvand discusses all possible revision surgery options with each patient in order to ensure the best results.
