Answer: Recovery after Gynecomastia Surgery
At this point in time of your recovery, it is normal for you to still have some swelling and puffiness. Swelling should subside within a couple months depending on the healing process and your activity level. I ask my patients to wear a compression garment/vest for 4 weeks to help minimize swelling. Consult your surgeon to rule out any seroma (accumulation of fluid in the underlying tissues). Be patient and keep in close communication with your surgeon so that he/she can help you with your recovery. Things will continue to change in the next few months.

Answer: Revision surgery after gynecomastia correction
I would wait another 4 weeks to determine whether or not you're experienceing swelling or residual breast tissue. Then, you can get the undertreated area revised if it is, in fact, breast tissue.
