Return of puffy nipples after gynecomastia surgery. (photos)

Asked By:HMay1983 in USA

I had gynacamastia surgery (gland excision and lipo) on 2/10/17, followed all my Drs. Instructions including wearing the compression vest for 5 weeks. I was happy with results the week that compression vest came off. About two weeks following vest removal puffiness seemed to return to my nipples and the peck skin seems to droop, met with Dr. he says should go away. I'm worried that this is leftover gland or scar tissue. Is it possible these areas will tighten up or will a revision be required?
