Is there still gland or it may be scar tissue? (photos)

Dear Rational276410,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you for your question regarding whether there's still a gland or perhaps scar tissue behind the nipple region after gynecomastia surgery which included the removal of the gland and liposuction seven months ago. Your pictures and history suggest you probably have scar tissue in this area. If you are overly concerned, you may consider obtaining an ultrasound or CT scan from this region. If there is further granular or scar tissue, this may be admirable to a reoperation. Caution must be given about having a revision of gynecomastia. If too much tissue is removed, you have an even more difficult problem to solve. If too much tissue is removed, you may require fat transfer to correct the defect or even pectoralis implants.
In conclusion, I think that you have scar tissue. If you are overly concerned, consider a radiographic examination. However, if you are considering revision surgery, please seek multiple opinions. Thank you for your excellent question regarding whether there's still a gland or perhaps scar tissue behind the nipple region after gynecomastia surgery, which included the removing the gland and liposuction seven months ago.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Thank you for your query. When a Gynecomastia surgery is done a very small “button” of tissue is usually left right beneath the nipple, so that it does not sink in and produce a deformity. It is possible that a little more tissue than needed was left behind. It is also possible that you have scar tissue, but less likely. Please visit you plastic surgeon, have him examine you and address all your concerns. All the best!
