Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Crooked Ribs After A Gynecomastia Surgery?
I recently had a gynecomastia surgery and I noticed that one of my ribs on my right side feels like it is crooked. The surgery is not the cause of it, but I feel like having gynecomastia during puberty had caused one of my ribs to be slightly crooked because of the tissue being there. I feel more of the bone sticking out on my right side while my left side feels normal. Is there a doctor that help realign it without surgery?

Hello,
I think if the problem is only cosmetic and not interfering in breathing. You should consult a physiotherapist.
