I had the gynecomastia and abdominoplasty procedures done. I am 9 days post op from my second surgery. The original surgery was 12/17 however due to some complications (internal bleeding in my left breast and blood clots in my abdominoplasty incision) I had to get the sites reopened and cleaned out on 12/18. I also lost a lot of blood during the surgery and almost had to get a blood transfusion. I am feeling great now but concerned with how things are looking. Will the wrinkles go away?
