Please see your Plastic Surgeon
It is very important that you see your plastic surgeon right away. There could be a significant problems. Typically, for black or dark purple nipples, I prescribe nitropaste every 4 hours. This medication decreases venous congestion and allows blood to flow unrestricted through the nipple. Again, please go see your plastic surgeon right away.

Nipple color change after gynecomastia surgery
Thanks for providing the photo. It's not uncommon for discoloration after surgery. It's most likely due to bruising after surgery and will resolve over time. Often time with bilateral surgery, one side may show more bruising than the other side. If you are really worried, just give your surgeon a visit. Most often you just need the reassurance from your surgeon that the tissues are going through normal healing.
Best Wishes,
