Okay so, its been about a month post op and I realize that still early but I cant help but wonder. Anyway, I was recently put under general anesthesia and had the gynecomastia removed. I quickly awoke after and felt no pain but was pretty out of it, both sides of my chest were just a bit sore. I went back the following day and removed my bandages just to find out a hematoma was forming underneath my right nipple. My doctor tried evacuating it in office but wasn't able to stop the bleeding so I was quickly remitted and was put under general again. He explained that a little artery on my chest was nicked and he had to cauterize it. Again I awoke feeling no pain, just soreness and went back the next day. It look a lot more like my left side but to be honest, I could still tell my chest wasn't completely flat the following day after surgery, I figured my nipples would retract but they stayed puffy and still are when not stimulated. I realize he had to leave a thin layer of tissue to avoid a crater deformity and he informed me thats exactly what he did and that its just loose skin but I strongly believe he may have left a little bit of too much tissue. My left side feels completely healed as in I don't see any swelling or feel soreness but my right side is still a little tender and swollen from the trauma. Scar tissue has began to form underneath my incision areas and I apply BioCorneum daily on both sides as informed. I also wear my compression vest daily. Im hoping that its just the scar tissue pushing it out like that but I'm not completely sure and it would be a pain if I had to be put under general for a third time. Originally it was $4,000 but that quickly turned into $5,000 after the revision to evacuate the hematoma. I have attached some photos of what was taken out and a very recent picture of my left side and then underneath both sides.
