In the era before these technological developments the breast tissue was removed surgically by placing an incision around the nipple areolar complex. However if not performed properly, this technique leaves behimd an unsightly deformity in the male chest in the form of a deep saucer or a crevice. This becomes more visible when the muscle underneath contracts. This leads to a great socially embarrassing situation particularly in our country where males are required to bear the chest for religious rituals.

All these deformities can be tackled by putting in extra fat in to the depressed areas from the buttock or the abdomen. These are day care procedures and have a considerably low downtime allowing you to return to work over a weekend.

Such deformities need very customized and sophisticated procedures to address the defects. These defects which due more pronounced in the dynamic state require tissues to be transferred from distant sites so as to achieve a more normal looking male chest
