I had Gynecomastia removal along with Liposuction on my chest. Anyway, it has been 3 1/2 weeks since the surgery and I have these hard lumps under my skin that feel somewhat painful at times.I contacted the office and the doctor told me that it was scar tissue and that it should go away within 6 months-1 year. My chest looks kinda deformed because of the swelling/scar tissue? Will this go away? Sharp pains shoot through that area if I lift anything over 10 lbs.

Answer: Contour Irregularities in PostOp Period Following Gynecomastia Surgery It’s not unusual to have minor contour irregularities following the surgical management of gynecomastia. These changes are often the result of swelling and scarring, and tend to improve with the passage of time. They often present as lumps and bumps and other types of contour irregularities. In the immediate post-operative period compression and massage can facilitate remodeling. Surgical revision may rarely be necessary. It usually takes six to twelve months before a decision can be made regarding revisonal surgery. It takes at least this long for swelling and scarring to completely resolve. It’s important to discuss these issues with your surgeon who can reassure you regarding your clinical course.

Answer: Three Weeks-To Early To Judge Your body will be going through a healing phase. Scar tissue is certanly present and requires time to resolve. The shape sometimes takes four to six weeks to see the outcome. The swellig needs to come down during this time frame. The sharp pains will resolve as well.
