Will Nipples Lift After Gynecomastia Surgery?

August 2, 2013
Asked By:Bosch123

I am only three days out from a lipo/glandular gynecomastia surgery, but I was shocked to see how low my nipples look on my chest/torso. I am 44, but I look like I have the chest of a 70 years old. 1100 cc of fat were removed which seems sizable, and I am worried that the skin won't retract. Is it normal for the nipple to be so low on the torso after a surgery like this?
