Approximately 2.5 months post op for mild bodybuilder gyno surgery and I am still having puffy nipples. Is this normal? (photo)

Drew T.
Basically, i had gyno from taking some supplements i definitely shouldn't have back in the day and decided to have it surgically removed. The "ball" was approximately 1.5cmx2.5cmx2cm and was removed from behind each areolar. However, the puffiness has not gone away. There is no longer as much tenderness and pain as there was pre op but the puffiness hasn't changed, if anything, its worse. Is this normal/when should i try to meet with my surgeon again??
