Asked By:cc179536 in Knoxville, TN

This is 2 weeks post op.I had gland excision and liposuction done.I am aware that it takes a minimum of 6 months to really heal up and make an assessment. I am massaging to soften the scar tissue once a day for a few minutes. Also what is the dark spot on my left nipple? It feels like it may be scabbing? Idk. My left side is also depressed and looks like it could end up being a crater deformity I hope it heals up and evens out...How long does it take the nipples typically to shrink up and even out?
