Follow-Up: Will inverted nipple correct itself eventually? 1.5 months post Gynecomastia surgery (photo)

November 2, 2017
Asked By:Bballer86 in Hamilton, ON

It's been about 1.5 months since my Gynecomastia surgery. Only excision was performed. I don't have any before pics, but my nipples weren't inverted pre-surgery, they were just puffy. If I stretch my nipple then they pretrude. Will they eventually protrude naturally? Thank you all so much for your help. Your replies go such a long way!

Would leaving some "glandular tissue" behind affect my results after gynecomastia surgery?
Robert Caridi, MD says:
