What could be the cause of hard tissue after a gynecomastia surgery? (Photos)

October 11, 2018
Asked By:yeegits in Long Island City, NY

6 weeks post-op I have really hard tissue still feels like gland on the left lower outside of left nipple, doctor says it’s not tissue tells me to massage it but that just irritates it and seems to make it worse, other side is completely flat, I did have the drain in on that side for a whole week due to excessive bleeding but how could scar tissue form that fast? It’s only noticeable when I put my hands up and sticks through my shirt.
