2 Weeks before did gynecomastia surgery in both side left side everything is normal. But right side nipple area totally damaged. Swelling is there and outer skin totally not there. Sometime i feel burning sensation. Is this normal are any infection affected. My surgeon told no need to do anything, leave 2 week it will heal automatically. So please give any suggestions.
Answer: Damaged nipple I know that things look really bad, but you are still early in your recovery. For now, as hard as it is, I would simply wait and see. At the 6 month post op mark, if the look of your nipple still hasn't improved then schedule an appointment to see your surgeon to discuss options. There are a few. Best of luck.

Answer: Nipple injury after Gynecomastia surgery. You appear to have suffered some loss of pigment, as well as some nipple retraction following your mastectomy for gynecomastia. I too would hope that the pigment will return. That process may take several weeks. Regarding the nipple retraction, it is also far too early to make a determination about whether that will be permanent or not. I recommend keeping in close contact with your surgeon.
