I had gynecomastia surgery a little over a month ago, I wore the vest/wrap for 2 1/2 weeks day/night as instructed. Been wearing tight work out shirts since then. Is this just swelling and will flatten out in time? I had lipo and gland removal.

Answer: Areola/nipple still puffed after gynecomastia surgery? Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Preoperative photographs are useful to assess your appearance change from surgery, but I can see your area of concern. If the tissue just deep to the nipple is firm and spongy, this may indicate that residual glandular tissue is present. If the tissue is soft this is likely only swelling. It is common to still have swelling after surgery and best to allow your results to fully mature before evaluating any residual nipple puffiness.

Refer to the link below for more information on whether this is residual breast tissue, scar tissue, or swelling. Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand
