Nipple asymmetry about 5 weeks post-gynecomastia surgery. Is this normal at this stage? (photo)

Asked By:Powerful3493 in New York, NY

Hi, all. I had gyno surgery done about 5 weeks ago. Generally I am quite pleased with my results, especially on my right side. The contour of the chest is much improved. However, one concern I do have is the asymmetry of the nipples. Both started off swollen and enlarged shortly after the procedure but the right one has shrunk down to the size it was pre-op, if not smaller in terms of diameter, which is good. The left, however, is sometimes 2 or 3 times larger. Is this normal at this stage?
