Results from Gynecomastia Surgery After 6 Months - Puffy Nipples?

You may want to get a second opinion, or return to your surgeon to talk about your results. Massage may help but you'll most likely benefit from revision surgery.

                  It’s
not uncommon for patients to note contour irregularities following gynecomastia
surgery. The majority of these cases occur because of scarring and swelling and
resolve with time. This resolution can be facilitated with compression garments
and massage. It typically takes six to twelve months to see a final result
following surgery.

                  When
residual contour irregularities persist for longer periods of time, this may be
due to incompletely excised breast tissue. This commonly occurs in the sub
areolar area and often results in puffy nipples. When this situation arises,
revisional surgery is often necessary.

                  It’s
important that you consult your surgeon so that you can be re-evaluated. A
physical examination should determine whether revisional surgery is necessary. 

Thank you for the question.

It sounds like the correct operation was done to treat the gynecomastia.  The tissue you are feeling may be either scar tissue or residual breast gland.

You have to be careful not to remove too much tissue and end up with a contour deformity/depression.

Best wishes.
