Is it normal for scar tissue to have that grainy/inconsistent tiny lump feeling?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Scar tissue can heal in a number of different ways but it takes up to a year or longer to see/feel your long-term results.  If your surgeon feels that the scar tissue is healing poorly he can try dilute steroid injections to help soften it, while if it remains painful and thick a revision procedure to remove it may be required.  Hope this helps.

kangac. I appreciate your concern, and it sounds like you simply have some stubborn scar tissue left over from your surgery. This is often best treated with steroid injections. Follow up with your plastic surgeon to determine the best options for you. Good luck.

Hi thanks for your question. The key to gynaecomastia surgery is to remove the tissue that makes the chest look female - this is the fat over the chest (most of it is removed via liposuction), and the glandular tissue behind the nipple (often removed via a scar around the nipple). Presumably this is what you have had done. As a PS I take care to leave a disc of glandular tissue behind the nipple around 1cm thick so that the nipple does not invert. This glandular tissue is often hard and I warn patients you may be still be able to feel the hard glandular tissue left behind and this can differ between the two sides. In addition to this there will be scarring from surgery. The latter you will be able to improve with scar massage and perhaps silicone but you wont change the residual glandular tissue left behind for very good reason. Consult with your plastic surgeon but this all sounds normal to me.
