Nipples Are Stuck 4 Days Post Male Breast Reduction? (photo)

Ralos
I had a male breast reduction 4 days ago with liposuction and gland removal. My nipples are stuck and the image is very concerning. My surgeon said simply massage the breast and nipple and they will release themselves. If this is correct please advise any credible methods of manually trying to free the nipple at this stage. Or if not the correct solution please offer your advise
