Post gynecomastia surgery puffiness, hard lumps & pain under nipples. Is this normal, and will it improve? (Photo)

skadam
I underwent operation around 2.5 months ago for a grade-1 gyno. The doctor only performed lipo by saying that there was only fatty tissue & no glandular tissues were involved. The results were quite noticeable immediately. I have been wearing the compression vest for 8-10 weeks. But for the past 3-4 weeks, I have noticed that puffiness & hard lumps are back around both nipples. I can feel pain while jogging & whenever the nipples are pressed.Is this normal & will the puffiness reduce/ get worse?
