I had Lipo on my chest 6 weeks ago and now I feel hard kind of lumps under my nipples. Should I be worried?
Answer: Hard lumps under nipples 6 weeks after gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction), what can that be? Thank you for your question.First, best to be a bit more patient, 6 weeks is early post liposuction.That being said, it could be still a small old clot trying to dissolve. Could also be some old fat being dissolved by your body (like fat necrosis). Could also be residual breast glands, called gynecomastia. Male breast tissue is common and liposuction alone will not remove the glands. Liposuction alone could have exposed the pre-existing glands. Glands are typically harder than fat. Glands are often removed with a small incision at 5-7 o'clock around the areola.Best is to visit your plastic surgeon.Kind regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, aesthetic plastic surgeon
