It is still time for compression and massage
Hisham Seify, MD, PhD answers: Swollen areolas after Liposuction and Nipple Reduction
I am a male who recently had a nipple reduction with liposuction. The doctor did not provide any compression and 5 weeks later, I still have swollen areolas and I look worse than before the surgery. What can I do?
This is really bothering me. I started using a compression vest 4 days after the surgery. Should I continue to wear the vest or is it pointless at this point? I am concerned the streched areolas won't return to their original shape.
Contact the doctor
