2 months after my gynecomastia surgery, my chest has started to get a build up under my nipple. More so the left side than the right. After my surgery I had a perfect flat chest and I was over th moon, but over the last couple of weeks it has got worse and im very convernced. The pictures with bruising are 2 weeks after my surgery and the last is current. I just want to know whats going on? im seeing my surgeon at the end of feb but should I see him before to get it sorted before it gets worse?
