I got gynecomastia surgery 7 days go, and I'm wondering when exactly should they start to shrink.
Thank you for your question. Typically the areola will shrink when the tissue behind it, the glandular and fatty tissue is thinned. We typically see this effect take place on the operating table at surgery. As long as there is still thick tissue behind the areolae, the areolae will appear thick or puffy. Be sure to express your concerns with your surgeon and keep him or her aprised of your progress.Best Wishes,Dr. Morrissey
