Can tightening skin laser help flatten chest and puffy nipples after gynecomastia surgery?

December 16, 2016
Asked By:arianklea92 in Rome, GA

I am almost 10 months after surgery ( excision of very small gland and liposuction ). My doctor said there is still a little bit of connective tissue which causes the puffiness. He suggested to have a laser treatment to tighten the skin so it can help reduce or soften the connective tissue or scar tissue. What do you think about it? He did a treatment now for lasted only for 1 minute and a half but can a laser treatment help in this matter? Thank you very much
