I had gyno surgery 86 days ago and have just had my last checkup. My doc said everything is good but I still think it looks like gyno. The left side still has puffiness under and slightly around the nipple making a protruding look. Right nipple is less puffy. I can see the puffiness through shirts and makes me worried its permanent. I know theres scar tissue under the nipple but dont see how it would cause the soft and puffy nipple. puffiness seems to be worst the day after massaging the scar
