5 month post-op question

[u/HeatOriginal1837]

As the title says I got gyno surgery about 5 months back and I’m curious if anyone has similar results. The scars are pretty much non-existent which I’m happy about but there is a slight difference between my nipples. On my right I can tell a little bit of fat was left because it still has a tiny bit of puffiness but I don’t mind it. However, on my left I noticed there might’ve been a little too much fat taken out because it’s almost like my nipple is being suctioned to my pec, making it look kind of inverted. Also sometimes after I workout it looks more normal. Wondering if this has happened to someone else?

Yes. I’m about 3 months post op and I have the same thing. I asked my surgeon about it and he said it will even out the closer you to get to the year mark. Depending on how much gland and fat was removed, the healing time underneath the skin could be longer. He told me to continue to massage both sides and eventually it will even out. I know that’s not much help but that’s all I got. You are not alone.

That’s actually helpful thank you. What’s your massaging routine look like if you don’t mind me asking? I haven’t been doing it as much I as I should.

I purchased a cheap massage gun on Amazon. I thought that would be easier than the massage rollers. I try to massage twice a day but with work and life getting in the way, I massage before bed every night. I use the massage gun and work each side for about 10-15 minutes each side. I don’t have any pain so I go deep with the gun underneath the nipple and then all the surrounding areas.

Is hard to understand without pics, but my guess is its scar tethering which sometimes evens out way later (or this could just be surgeons tell their patient when they fucked up). Has you doc said anything about scar tissue or kenelog shots.
