Nipple Appearance After Gynecomastia Surgery

March 29, 2010
Asked By:3844anon in Vancouver, Canada

I am an extreme weight loss patient. 2 weeks ago, I underwent a gynocomastia excision procedure along with extended tummy tuck. 200 grams of breast tissue was removed.. and a slight crescent mastopexy was performed, to correct my slightly low nipple position. My chest was a lot bigger before, and it sagged. It no longer does that.. definately it lays a lot flatter. However, my nipple however look wrinkles along the incision, and the contour is cratered on one side. Is it too early to tell or is this normal?
