Is massaging with Bio Oil beneficial for scar tissues / lumps developed in chest due to gynecomastia surgery ?

Sahil270
I had gone through gynecomastia surgery (gland removal + liposuction) 11 days ago. Now after 11 days I can feel hard lumps almost everywhere around my chest and axilla. My doctor has adviced me to massage the areas twice a day with vaseline / body lotion. I am using Bio Oil for massaging the chest area. I have read in some article that Bio Oil contains Lavender oil which may cause gynecomastia / man boobs . Is it true or should I continue using it ?
