Nipple problems after gynecomastia surgery? (Photo)

Danedelle
Hi there. 4 weeks ago i had gyno surgery in both sides. A few days after i noticed that half of my left nipple turned Black, and half of the skin came off. Doc says it happens sometimes and not to worry. Now 4 weeks after the lower half is pink and the nipple is flat, not "pointy" in the middle and the scar is big compared to the right. Will the color return? Will the center of the nipple be "pointy" and normal again? Can i do anything to minimize/soften the scar or heal the damaged nipple?
