Gynecomastia problems

If it was merely some scar tissue or residual fibrous gland tissue that was left behind, that can be taken care of fairly easily with a revision procedure. However, your photos indicate that there may be more going on than just that. You seem to have a scar around your one areola, and the other seems to have some sloughing of the skin. Then you have a separate area of skin that seems to have scarring as well. You need to be examined by a board certified plastic surgeon. more

Gynecomastia

The pictures posted show lots of problems. The incisions used are around the entire nipple areola, this is more than a gynecomasia incision. You need to be evaluated by Board Certified Plastic Surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery).
