I still feel part of the gland after gynecomastia surgery, what can be done?

igotemout
I just had surgery yesterday by one of the top gyne surgeons in the country (as far as his reviews tell). I noticed today after taking off the bandage, that I still feel a part of the gland, precisely at the upper borders of the areolae that has the "donut shape" I've had before surgery, but this time only the upper half or third. Is this a standard technique in this surgery? I know that often some gland is left behind the areola to avoid a crater deformity, but is it done like that?
