I Have Had Gynecomastia Surgery 2 Months Ago, I Have Several Questions?
Im 19 yo.I have had liposuction and gland removal through a periareoler incision(skin was saggy and had been removed) I have regained sensation on the left side. Both areolas are 2" in diameter relaxed, the left contracts normally while the right does not have any nipple protrusion it just shrinks in size, is this normal?Would I regain sensation on the right side?Can I have a areola reduction surgery?When should I have it?How much can it be reduced?

Yes,you can have reduction surgery
The sensation may or may not return, it is difficult to say and only time will tell. This is one of the risk of the surgery. I often perform areolar reductions about 6 months after the first surgery. The areola can be reduced significantly.

Nipple sensation after gynecomastia correction

Sensation usually returns within 6-8 weeks, but some take longer and some may never regain it. As for the areola size, they can be reduced, but you should wait 4-6 months at least to see how things settle down.

Gynecomastia surgery recovery
The sensation to the nipples can take a long time (over a year) to return to one or both of the nipples after this surgery especially if there was an incision along the areola as in your case. There is a slight chance that the sensation may never fully return to that nipple which is a know complication of the surgery. As for reducing the size of the areola, that can be done anytime after 3-6 months after the initiial surgery. The only drawback is that you will have...

Post Gynecomastia Surgery questions.
Through what incision the skin was removed,and is the scar all around the areola or just in the lower part of the areola? Your pictures will be extremely important to determine your needs.As far as regaining sensation it may happen within the next 1-2 years. Although areola reduction is an option, I personally think that other options as thinning of the areola may be better (It all depend on the kind of surgery and excisions that were done previously).It is best to consult a...
