Post Gyno surgery: Left chest depression due to very tight dressing followed by muscle rightness and puffy nipples. (Photo)

CoolSamJun 27, 2015
Recently I have gone through vasor lipo + breast tissue removal by excision. My surgeon, after surgery, applied very tight dressing on left side as compared to right side. As a result of which, as you can see in after picture(4th day), my left chest appears having depression in between armpit and chest area. It is very tight in feel and I feel like muscle being restricted in movements. Also both nipples are still puffy. Time heals many things but I just have bad fear about this. Advise please.
