Gyno from steroids, did the operation the first 2 times with no liposuction and 1 time with only liposuction. The puffiness never went away and it's much more ''puffy' during the summer and can easily be seen thru the t-shirts. I don't understand how they can't fix the puffiness they tried to tighten the areola and removed all the gyno. Thanks in advance. Guy from Sweden.
Answer: Puffiness after Gynecomastia Surgery Hi Pannkaka123,Thanks for the post and the photos. In my opinion there are several reasons why in some patients the areola still appears puffy after gynecomastia surgery. 1. Residual tissue, whether it is gland or scar tissue.2. Decreased tone in the areolar skin to contract down. Just like people who have significant rapid weight loss may lead to loose abdominal skin that cannot fully tighten, a similar phenomenon can occur to the areola.3. Large areolar diamter to start off with. The analogy i like to use is that there is too much fabric and this leads to either puffiness or folds in the areola.The treatment for each of these is different. Now there is a normal response of the areola to temperature changes in everybody. Regardless of a history of gynecomastia or not, every man's areola appears tighter when it is cold compared to when it is warm. Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand
