Surgery was 10 months ago. Told them about concerns about bad looking results. Was told to keep massaging, go to the gym more and stand up straight. Trust the process but at 10 months, feeling like I need to seek another opinion. Showing my surgeon what my chest looks like when Im for instance, leaning over to grab something, results in extremely unflattering folds. I just want to know if massage will actually change anything.
I am 1-week post op from gynecomastia surgery. My right pec appears to substantially bigger and is starting to worry me that it will in fact remain so. I realize that is not uncommon for swelling to be unilateral but from what I can see the swelling has already reduced to where I expect it will stay. I am not quite sure how to identify what is scar tissue, and I am obviously still bruised and tender . When should somebody start massaging the area ? When will I be able to see the final result?
Hello, I had lipo/gland excision done to correct gynecomastia 2 weeks ago and things seem to be progressing nicely. I have some hard lumps underneath my nipples, presumably scar tissue and I have read that massaging is a good way to break up the tissue and soften things up. How should massaging be done. Should it hurt, i.e. pain ok or should it be done gently. ALso what type of lotion should be used. Just looking for any suggestions. Can't get in touch with my doctor as of now. Thanks
I had gynecomastia surgery 6 months ago and I still have a lump on one side that I believe is scar tissue. I have recently started massaging again after I did not for months. After I massage it to break it up it typically swells up and my breast looks swollen. Is that normal?
I am 2 weeks post-gynecomastia surgery. I'm wondering when would be the best time to begin chest massage to prevent internal scars. Also, for the incision scar, do you recommend applying any of those over the counter pads or do you have any other recommendations to make the scar as invisible as possible?
Hello, recently I have been massaging my scar tissue on a 2 year old operation site (gynecomastia) for almost 3-4 months now. I have been kind of obsessing over the lumpy scar tissue under my skin, wanting it to not be something hard when I pinch it, so I have been massaging, pinching, twisting, rolling the sight with my fingers every day. I do think it worked to a degree as of recently, and haven't been doing it the past 5 days, but I worry if i caused permanent discoloring to the skin.
I seen my surgeon yesterday, and he told me to began tissue massage as the nipple retracted because it was very puffy prior to operation. He recommended vitamin e cream, or cocoa butter . How can I get the nipple creases to smooth out and connect with the rest of the nipple? Would tissue massage be better later then now as it may cause swelling? *i also put a lot of neosporin on them so the creases are much worse when its dry,
Hello there, i am 1year and 5months post op from gynecomasty with double incision. I started to massage my scars when I was 3months post op, but somehow my scars are a bit like raised. Now I wanted to know is it pointless to massage my scars with cocoa butter and use cocoa butter on them to flatten them as I am now 1year and 5 months post op? P.s I used cocoa butter for like 4months, and everytime I put cocoa butter on my scars they got smooth and flat but once I stopped they are same as before
1st gynecomastia surgery April 2015 lipo and excision. Left crater in left, protrusion still on right side. 14days post revision op, crater on lift fixed. 100ml of fat removed from right, surgeon said he found thick hard scar tissue that he couldn't remove with cannula. Swelling has pretty much gone, leaving my nipple sticking out the same way as before with just less fat around it. The scar is very thick, hard and wide. What are my options? Injections? More surgery? I massage and wear garment.
