Fold/crease in areola 3 months post-op Gynecomastia surgery (lipo only). What are my options to fix? (photos)

January 13, 2019
Asked By:Meandmyeyes in Santa Monica, California

I know 3 months is still within the healing phase but this seems to be just getting worse. I’ve developed a significant crease/fold in the areola, which also makes it point downward. Its only there when areola relaxed, not as noticeable when stimulated/cold. I don’t feel any hard to tissue underneath. This was lipo only (had previous gynecomastia surgery 12 years ago where they removed gland and fat. This was supposed to be a touch up). Could this be over-suctioning and now no volume? What are my options to fix?
