Morning doctors , i had gynecomastia and male mastopexy surgery 6 weeks ago. At the moment i like the flatness of my chest but not how my areolas look, there is a scar around my areola that looks very pink and somewhat raised, my areolas don't look fully formed but they seem to be getting better than how they were, say 2-3 weeks ago.
