Answer: Revision Gynecomastia Surgery I am sorry that this has been a difficult postoperative course for you. Your surgeon is correct, however, in saying that it may continue get better with time. While a majority of excess swelling after surgery will go down within the first three months (and many times most notably between month two and three) changes will continue to occur for 6 - 12 months postoperatively. While you wait for the healing to continue, I would recommend aggressive massage of the surgical sites. If the contour irregularity persists at this time point, revision surgery would be necessary, and that could range from additional liposuction (of the high areas), to peri-areolar skin excision (removing excess skin around the nipple itself in a circular fashion), to fat grafting (to fill in a depressed area, as many surgeons have mentioned below). I understand that it is easier for me to tell you to have patience than it is if I were in your shoes, but, for now, that is going to be the most important thing.

Answer: Massage after Male breast reduction While I am concerned about your final outcome, in the next four months things will improve.I would recommend massage to untether the scar tissue from the areolar complex to the deeper tissues. Things will improve some after the next 4 months although you may need additional surgery.
