Discrepancies 8 moths post gynecomastia surgery. Is it left over gland, scar tissue, muscle? Can this be fixed? (Photos)

Asked By:Bright543962 in Lincoln, Nebraska

I had gyno removal 8 months ago by a plastic surgeon in my area. Ever since about 2 months post op it almost seems as though the gyno looks the same as before I got the surgery. I was not advised to do any massaging to the area, so I’m guessing scar tissue? When unflexed there is a discrepancy on both sides, more so on my left though. When I flex, it completely goes away and looks like there is nothing there. My surgeon told me it is just muscle, but I have a hard time believing that. If it is scar tissue, is it too late to begin massaging at 8 months? My surgeon does not provide kenalog shots. I find it hard to believe that my unflexed chest would give the appearance of gyno due to the shape of my muscle. These pictures show what my pecs look like unflexed before I lost weight, unflexed after I lost weight, and what it looks like fully flexed after losing weight.
