Asked By:alexgyno in Sherbrooke, QC

Hey, 6 weeks ago I had a gyno surgery. At first my nipples looked good and smaller but now I am starting to realise that my nipples are still puffy. They are almost the same size that they use to be before the surgery. My surgeron told me that it can take up to 3 months before swelling goes away. Heres some picture I wana know if it looks normal
