Could nipple & part of chest not to heal fully post gynaecomastia surgery?

P6
Hi sorry to ask & please dont laugh. Is it possible for a nipple & part of chest not to heal fully, post gynaecomastia surgery and possibly for the nipple to bleed underneath intermittently?. Years on one of my nipples and chest part feels like it fills up then dissipates. Where the gland was removed, feels like the flesh was cut away. The surgeon cut over part of the nipple rather than around. Pain around nipple is phenomenal & feels like it bleeds.
