My surgeon told me that my nipple will return to normal and smooth out after some time, I can see that it looks like he pulled it all to the center and folded my nipple inward then stitched it up, I am having that bunching feeling and I feel the need to try to stretch the nipple smooth, is this normal? This is 8 days after surgery plus the incision looks like a 5 year old tried to put it together
