I have scar tissue that is pretty tough, is there any chance it will go away? The areola skin is still loose, will it begin to retract? I think too much gland was removed on left side. Either way will the divot remain? I had a gynecomastia mastectomy with the general surgeon at Kaiser (1.5 mo/ago) b/c it was coved by insurance. It looks a lot better, but obviously I have my concerns. Thank you for your time.
