Nipple pink and deformed after gynecomastia surgery. Should I be worried? (Photo)

Asked By:omsy828 in Lawrenceville, GA

I have had gland excision only (no lipo) on both nipples 2.5 weeks ago. My left nipple is healing perfectly: minimal swelling, no scar tissue, and overall looks normal. But my right nipple has scar tissue forming underneath, part of it is turning pink, and it is very deformed. Should I be worried?
