Gynecomastia surgery but it seems to be coming back after 3 months??

sanchez12345
I had Gynecomastia surgery 3 months ago and my chest was very flat after surgery, however after 4-5 weeks i noticed my chest starting to fill out and now it is not as flat as it was after surgery and i can also feel the hard tissue under my right nipple. Im scared this may be returning so soon after my procedure. Why has my chest filled out? I have read that after tissue is removed it can not come back? Does that mean it wont ever come back as bad if it did return? Please help?
