Scaring

Hello. I have their weird fold where the scar is from my gyno removal surgery. It seems like maybe it is just extra aerial skin folded over. Can this be fixed? If so what is the best way to go about? Another surgery or creams or laser?

Procedure: Male Breast Reduction
Location: Chandler, AZ

By just revising the scar or steroid injections you may be able to fix this.. I would massage this area as this may soften this up.

You have a scar from the surgery you had that is about what we expect. Most people would not notice this at all. Lase is not for this. I doubt any creams would help. A scar revision may help but I would recommend just to leave it alone. You could visit a local plastic surgeon for an opinion.

What you have is not unexpected as scarring can produce a depression/contraction that creates this look. Best to discuss your options with your surgeon but if not possible, if you have waited a year since your procedure, a minor office procedure should help this smooth out.
