It's now exactly three weeks after Vaser gynecomastia surgery and I have the same amount of swelling as I did two weeks ago. The pectoral region seems squishy and there is a substantial swelling, while being able to push the fluid around.

Thank you for any information.

3 weeks is a little too early to start assessing the results of your surgery. Wait a couple of months at least to see if contour irregularities even out. Then return to your surgeon if they don't.
