I had gynecomastia surgery about a year ago (scars are next to invisible), prior to the surgery I had my nipples pierced which had caused some. scarring. Tried silicone sheeting for about a year with no change. My gynecomastia is gone but my nipples can still look 'puffy' from the raised scar tissue. It also seems to make them pucker in the middle. Is this something that could be excised or revised? Thoughts? Advice? Thank you in advance!

I would suggest an in person consultation with an expert for evaluation. Silicone based scar gels may help. Scars can be improved with lasers, microneedling, and surgery. Hypertrophic scarring can be treated with lasers along with steroid/5fu injections. Please seek an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
Treatment of keloids is an art. I would now avoid kenalog injections and speak to a specialist about repairing the atrophy. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
