8 Months Post Gyno Surgery - Will my Internal Scar Tissue Disappear? (photo)

I am not sure of the "scarring" that you are referring to.  It does seem that you may need additional excision of breast tissue, in particular under the nipple areola complex.  Good luck and be safe.John T.

I am a fan of kenalog injections to soften the scar that develops under the areola after gynecomastia surgery.  It is most effective within the first 3 months.  In your case, it may be gland, which is not a big deal.  It is always better to have too much left than too little.  The resection of more gland can be done under local anesthesia.

Your incisions will go through a maturation #process following #Gynecomastia #surgery. For the first few months they will be red and possibly raised and/or firm. As the scar matures, after 6-12 months, it becomes soft, pale, flat, and much less noticeable. You may experience numbness, tingling, burning, “crawling”, or other peculiar sensations around the surgical area. This is a result of the #healing of tiny fibers which are trapped in the incision site. These symptoms will disappear. Some people are prone to keloids, which is an abnormal scar that becomes prominent. If you or a blood relative has a tendency to keloid formation, please inform the doctor.Bruising and #swelling are normal and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However, it may take 6-9 weeks to disappear completely. Also, as you heal, the area may feel “lumpy” and irregular. This, too, decreases with time, and massaging these areas will help soften the scar tissue. The #compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly you will #heal. It can also assist in the retraction of the skin. If you have any concerns about #healing, its best to ask questions of your surgeon or their nursing staff.In the future, if you are concerned with scars, with your surgeon's approval you may be able to use scar management treatments such as Biocornuem,  Scar Guard, Scar Fade,  IPL Laser,  Yag Laser,   5fu/Kenalog for thick scars, or silicone sheeting.

Your photos demonstrate that you likely have additional breast tissue in the chest area.  Sometimes, scar tissue can exacerbate this appearance.  Steroid injections alone are unlikely to solve the problem.  Additional breast tissue excess under the nipple is also supported by the enlarged areola, which is stretched by the breast tissue.  It would be a good idea to see your surgeon or a second opinion by an exerienced, board-certified plastic surgeon

   After 8 months, you may have residual tissue, but this would be difficult to determine without an exam.  With regard to widening of areola, this can occur as healing takes place.  Kenneth Hughes, MD male breast reduction Los Angeles, CA
