Scar tissue from Gynecomastia surgery

February 4, 2017
Asked By:JoeC1 in Wayne, NJ

About 18 months ago I had Gynecomastia surgery, without lipo. My problem is now the lower part of my nipples have excess scar tissue (where incision was made) and makes them stick out at the bottom. Not to mention fat distribution is also imbalanced (I assume do to the fact the breast tissue was different sizes?). So although I am pretty muscular (188lbs 11% bf) my chest still looks awful. I work as a personal trainer so looks matter. Is another surgery the only way to fix this?
