Hello, I am now 4 1/2 weeks post op (early I know) from gynecomastia surgery in which the dr. also took out 250 cc of fibrofatty/apidose tissue from both sides with a little bit of glandular tissue via ultrasonic lipo. I am regretting ever having the surgery. One of my main concerns is the rippling I have on both sides of my chest, mainly on the outside of the pec running up to the armpit. I have been firmly messaging it a ton and it doesn't seem to matter. What are my chances this goes away?
