6 weeks post revision gynecomastia. The right side isn't healing as well. Will it correct itself? (photos)

Hi, thank you for your inquiry. I see your area of concern. Every body heals differently and most times the healing rate of one side of the body compared to the opposite side often varies.  You should be seeing a gradual improvement within the first couple of months. Follow up with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  I see your area of concern but it can take several weeks for your surgical results to soften and mature with each side healing at different rates.  That said you should have been seeing a gradual improvement over the six weeks so if this is not the case, talk to your surgeon.

Hello and thank you for posting photos along with your question! 6 weeks is very soon to judge your surgery at this point. Since this was a revision, it is a more difficult case than a primary gynecomastia correction. Scar tissue will probably be present longer. However, you should definitely express your concerns with your plastic surgeon because they may have suggestions on how to improve the results and how to decrease scar formation. They may have you perform scar massage to soften things up and prevent things from scarring down. Hope this helps and wishing you the best of luck in your recovery! Ankur Mehta MD
