Answer: Scar Tissue After Gynecomastia 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.

Answer: Residual mass after Gynecomastia surgery 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!

Answer: Gynecomastia Most gynecomastia includes both gland and fat. If liposuction only was done, some gland may still be present.
