Scar/keloid after gynomastia making nipple point down.

Question

Very happy with my gynomastia surgery except keloids under both nipples are pulling my nipples so they point down, one side more than the other. Can this be fixed and my nipple's flattened out?

This is a question you really need to address with your surgeon. Also it is impossible to comment much without photos. Often, what patients think are keloids - aren't.

Dear RB1964,it is hard to tell without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Without examining you in person, impossible to give you an appropriate treatment plan but there are options for improving the look of your scars. Make an appointment with your surgeon to have your scars assessed and discuss. Best of luck.
