Swollen Nipples and Hard Tissue Behind Nipples 5 Months After Gynecomastia Lipo Surgery?

I had gynecomastia surgery 5months ago.Before surgy I did a chest echo,it revealed that I had a fatty chest with a very small gland tissue.My surgeon told me before surgery that he would make a lipo and if he notices that the gland residue was important he’ll remove it,and that he must leave a small gland tissue so that the nipple is not deformed.Finally he did only a lipo.Result was perfect:chest was flat,but 2weeks after it has inflated,now after 5months I havent noticed any improvement.Thanks

Hardness Under Nipples Post Gynecomastia/Lipo

Thank you for your gynecomastia question. Very often, at this point after gynecomastia lipo, I would recommend the judicious use of corticosteroids injected into the firm tissue below your nipple. More than likely, this tissue is just organized swelling, and if broken up with a little of corticosteroid followed by 5 minutes of ultrasound (the kind physical therapists use for sore muscles), you would be able to dissolve this swelling and stop it before it turns to true scar tissue... more
