I had my gynecomastia surgery On August 17, 2017. Both my surgeon and I noticed there are some asymmetry 12 days after the surgery. My surgeon said I should let it heal and get back to him in 3 months. Since it is now 4 months after the operation, I am getting concerned with the asymmetry as it has not faded away. Question: 1. Is this scar tissue or something else? 2. What can I do to solve this problem?
