Fold/crease in nipple 3.5 weeks post Gynecomastia surgery, what can help? (Photos)

July 4, 2019
Asked By:Witty2627 in Milwaukee, WI

I seen my surgeon yesterday, and he told me to began tissue massage as the nipple retracted because it was very puffy prior to operation. He recommended “vitamin e cream, or cocoa butter” . How can I get the nipple creases to smooth out and connect with the rest of the nipple? Would tissue massage be better later then now as it may cause swelling? *i also put a lot of neosporin on them so the creases are much worse when it’s dry,
