Follow-up: Can creased/folded areola complex be corrected after gynecomastia surgery?

July 18, 2019
Asked By:Brave1849 in New York, NY

I have had the my gyno surgery an year ago and now my right nipple has a deformity.The bottom aerola looks bit puffy (out from surface) and folded onto the top part. The top half of the aerola looks as if Its attached to the muscle beneath and I can feel a thread like lump right under the nipple when pinched and the nipple is also bit painful when touched. Further the aerola along with bit of its surrounding gets inverted when the hands are raised. Can this complexity be fixed and made normal?
