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

 Discuss your concerns with your surgeon, but you need to wait several weeks/months to see the final result of your surgery. Good luck.

Dear Igotemout,
It is very early to judge your results one day after surgery as there could be a small fluid collection there or it could be swelling there that can oftentimes be misleading.  You really should give yourself at least two months of healing time before you can make a judgment.  I would mention that the amount of tissue left behind under the areola is very minimal, however.  It does not take much glandular tissue left behind to avoid the crater deformity you spoke of.  I hope this has been helpful to you. 

I know that it is frustrating to not take off the bandages and have your chest be "perfect" but it is WAY too early to be judging your results. Your chest is swollen. Things will feel funny. Give it all time. If, at 6 weeks post op, you are still worried, call your surgeon but it can take anywhere from 3-6 months on average for the swelling to fully subside. Best of luck.

Being that you just had surgery, I would take a deep breath and allow things to heal first. Good luck..

I know it is so tempting to start evaluating your results the day after surgery, but it is just not possible! Gynecomastia surgery produces swelling, bruising and inflammation in the area related to healing that is all normal. It's just too soon to evaluate anything, except watching for infection or a hematoma. Try and take a deep breath and step back.  This the first day of a long- at least four month- road to recovery. Put your compression on, follow your doctors orders and keep your follow ups. Lumps and bumps are usual for at least four months. Congratulations on completing surgery.  Try and relax 

Hello and thank you for the question. The day after surgery there may be some bruising and swelling in the surgical area, so it may be better to allow it to settle down before making any judgements. It is difficult to comment without examining you, so if in a few weeks you are still concerned please arrange to see your surgeon.
