I have one Puffy nipple 6 weeks after gyno op! Is this normal? (photo)

I had gynecomastia surgery exactly 6 weeks ago both lipo/incision. I have worn a compression garment for 5 weeks and followed all the rules/advice religiously but in the last few days my left nipple is getting puffy again. What is going on? why is it happening with only one nipple? Is this Bleeding? swelling? scarring? sagging skin? fat? gland? Is it too early to judge final results? Will this improve and eventually flatten out? Need some reassurance/advice am I worrying needlessly?
