Is this a normal looking chest 7 months after gyno surgery? (photos)

Following #Gynecomastia #surgery, your incisions will go through a maturation #process. For the first few months they will be red and possibly raised and/or firm. As the scar matures, after 6-12 months, it becomes soft, pale, flat, and much less noticeable. You may experience numbness, tingling, burning, “crawling”, or other peculiar sensations around the surgical area. This is a result of the #healing of tiny fibers which are trapped in the incision site. These symptoms will disappear. Some people are prone to keloids, which is an abnormal scar that becomes prominent. If you or a blood relative has a tendency to keloid formation, please inform the doctor.

Bruising and #swelling are normal and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However, it may take 6-9 weeks to disappear completely. Also, as you heal, the area may feel “lumpy” and irregular. This, too, decreases with time, and massaging these areas will help soften the scar tissue. The #compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly you will #heal. It can also assist in the retraction of the skin. If you have any concerns about #healing, its best to ask questions of your surgeon or their nursing staff.

At 7 months, you should be healed from your surgery.  Any residual contour irregularities can be improved upon with fat grafting in my opinion.  Best to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.  Good luck and be safe.  John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

It's very difficult to tell exactly based on the photos. There is certainly some asymmetry but I can't tell if it's due to over resection of one side or under resection of the other. Perhaps you should return to your surgeon and discuss your concerns.
