3 months after gynecomastia, one nipple looks slightly inverted and when bending forward both nipples sink. Thoughts? (photos)

Hi, I had puffy nipple surgery 3 months ago, just an incision around the areola and breast tissue removed (around half a chicken nugget) the surgeon said. One nipple looks slightly inverted and upon bending forward of flexing pectoral muscles both nipples sink, quite dramatically. I've read this could be scar tethering, or over resection, or both. Ive booked back in with the surgeon tomorrow to ask him but just wondered what other people thoght and what can be done. Thanks in advance
