Three months post Gynecomastia surgery. Still puffy in the nipple area. Is this normal? (photos)

Asked By:rlw153 in Kansas City, MO

I had a glandular excision/lipo, three months ago. Followed instructions provided at every stage in the process. The results seemed to be decent, at first, but the distortion and puffiness is back--though not as bad, as before. My main issue is that if I wear a shirt without a tank, underneath, the puffiness creates the appearance of tiny breasts. Am I being overzealous in thinking that this should not be happening at this stage in the game? Or am I expecting better results with time?
