I had gynecomastia surgery in February 2013 that caused huge keloids around the areolas and a revision last October to get rid of those. However I am still left with very large areolas. My doctor said I should wait 1 year after the surgery and then consider having another surgery if I don't feel happy with the results. Now I just would like to hear other doctory opinions, do you think it is possible to get a decent result with another revision? Thank you for your input.
