Asked By:pran9966c in Big Indian, NY

Hello Doctors, i underwent gynecomastia 12 days ago.. seeing good results. but still have hardness and little bit of pain [may be sensory discomfort]. it will go away in few days. but what bothers me is "my right nipple got scabbing just like normal body tissues and its superficial layer of my nipple getting shedded". my left nipple is just normal. please check out few images and tell me, is this normal or got damaged? my nipple normal contour and color will be restored?? thank you
