Answer: Steroid Use and the Lasting Effects of Gynecomastia Surgery
It's hard to answer for certain without a proper consult, but it sounds like your problem is excess tissue under the nipple which can be surgically removed. Of course you should schedule a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to be sure you receive the correct treatment for your issue...
You are likely experiencing residual tissue under the nipples. Seek a plastic surgeon with specialty training in #gynecomastia surgery, has great photos, and is an expert in male breast reduction.
Gynecomastia surgery typically removes excess breast tissue, and while it can improve chest contour, the extent of nipple lift varies. Factors like skin elasticity and the amount of tissue removed influence this. Consult with a plastic surgeon for recommendations based on your specific situation.
