Surgery + 2 revisions and not happy - Is it me or the surgeon?

The one you have now looks a lot better then ur other photos. Why not take step by step and take it slow by getting topples and get use to your chest? Maybe a talk to someone might help.

At first I was paranoid that my chest wasn't good enough or flat enough. But I soon gotten use to it and keep telling my self that it's was falter then before. Then I grew to love it.

Two years is a long time if you were unhappy about it. But what ever you feel right you want to do, but if u wanted an other revisions I think your better off with a different surgeon.

I think your chest looks fine now. I'm with the others that say to work on those pecs, both upper and lower, and build up some good muscle. Once you have some really meaty and well defined pecs, you will also have a better presentation to a surgeon if it still seems off to you.

Also, try putting concealer on those scars so you can't see the curvy lines, and take another picture - I think the scars definitely give an optical illusion of breasts. And if that's all it is - optical illusion - put on concealer every day if it helps Seriously, though, work out and get some good pecs going on before you see another surgeon. Pecs + reduced scar visibility in 6 months or so might make all the difference!

I don't think you're going to get any better than what you have now.  You needed revisions but now that's right for a guy your size.  If you want to tighten it up, that's all about weight loss and muscle building now.

Exactly right.

I was going to show you some pictures of my chest for comparison, but my incisions look like ziploc slits that someone opened and emptied. Not typical.

I'm going to echo a lot of the earlier comment:  You look fine / unremarkable, as far as having a "passable" male chest goes.  Sure, you might find the appearance a bit more aesthetically pleasing if you worked out a bit, it certainly couldn't hurt, but I don't really think it's necessary.

Hell, in my case, I lost both nipples cos the surgeon (Dr Wilson in Detroit) told me I could "shower as normal" the very next day with skin grafts, the revision that I had to literally scream and make legal threats to get, looks only-OK on one side (I've only known one ostensibly cisgender man with nipples that huge) and the other side looks very unusual, almost like an inverted nipple, but not (if that makes sense)¹, and somehow whatever Mediterranean-origin throwback genes I have from my Black Irish father has given me massive hypertrophic scarring in the centre of my chest --but nobody seems to remark on it when I'm shirtless in public.  If nobody's been taken aback by my own nonsense, nobody's going to think *your* chest looks at all unusual.

We're all too often our own worst critics, and yeah, you might just be looking at the scars a bit much.  The scars always look better after at least a year.  If you still think there's room for improvement, try working out, cos short of silicone pec implants, I doubt there's anything else surgery could do for you.  (And don't seriously consider pec implants, I've never seen anyone get those and *not* look like a muffin pan, after.)



^{1: I was pretty much locked in to going with that particular surgeon, cos I'm on Medicare, and Disability, and he's pretty much the only one in my state who'll take Medicare, and obviously I can't afford to take an out-of-state trip for surgery.}

the second revision looks great, i can see why wouldn't like the first though, like everyone else said try the gym first and see if that helps
