I still have breast tissue after gynecomastia surgery. (Photos)

sbowles23
I had gyno surgery 2 weeks ago, and as the swelling is subsiding I am noticing that I still have the hard nodules, and they’re actually still about the same size as before the surgery. He did take glandular tissue out. If I pinch them, they measure about 1” thick. I had a follow up at 1 week post-op and I addressed these concerns with him and he assured me that it was normal. This leaves me concerned. I know it’ll be another 4-5months before it’s completely healed, but what do you guys think?
