Male Breast Reduction - Any Way to Correct a Cross Stitch on Nipple? (photo)

July 4, 2012

9 months ago I had my gyno removed. I understand that when the doctor removes the tissue it is normally done through an incision under the areola. My doctor made the incisions on my areolas and through my nipples. I literally had crosses stitched on my areolas. Why would he use this method because now my nipples are split in two. Also is there anyway this can be corrected? I would post pics but it won't let me. The best way to describe it is it's like a torn earlobe. Are there any risks?
