Dear Cool464970,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Nipple pain is not uncommon with gynecomastia and it can continue after surgery. Some patients have a relief of nipple tenderness for summit doesn’t change and it can possibly get worse with surgery.

Probably not a whole lot a plastic surgeon can do for this if you’re happy with the aesthetic outcome.

Breast pain is more common than people believe. Most women know this but it happens with guys as well.

Best,
