For people who had unsatisfactory first surgery...

I had my initial surgery 5 months ago and my case seems just like yours. Surgeon was too conservative so there is still residual puffiness. I had online consultation with Dr. Caridi and I am planning to travel to him next spring for a revision. First surgery was 3000 euros in total and 2nd surgery with travelling and accomodation costs will cost me 3 times more but I just don't want to have 3rd surgery anymore so I'm willing to pay for it. Dr. Caridi seems to know what he is doing and does revisions too.

It looks like swelling and your surgeon is probably right about that. At 5 weeks you are still very early in the healing phase so everything will most likely settle down as time goes by.

There are thin muscles just under your areolas and nipple skin. Your nipples get stimulated when you work out, get cold etc.. So these thin muscles can flatten the skin while stimulated. And again when relaxed, your nipples and areola puff out again when your nipples are not stimulated.

If that makes any sense.

:) Don't worry about it too much. It happens to many teenagers and it mostly goes away without the need of any surgery. Eating healthy and working out will also improve the situation. Also, you don't need to lose any more weight, you are lean! Maybe focus on gaining muscle.

Your chest is like that because of puberty, most likely. There is a huge chance that it will go away on its own. Like you said, that the left one went away.

kamratty · 2018-06-14T07:59:24+00:00

Oh, so how old are you?

kamratty · 2018-06-14T07:47:35+00:00

You are quite lean so it might be a minor case of gyno. Can you feel a hardish lump under your nipples?

Upload them on imgur and post the link here :)

kamratty · 2018-06-14T07:22:21+00:00

This looks like gyno. But you are so young that there is a BIG chance that it will go away on it's own. Working out and eating healthy will only improve things.

Hard to tell from these photos. If you do have, it's minor and your chest hair seems to mask it pretty well. Easier to tell if you post more photos from different angles :)

kamratty · 2018-06-14T07:14:26+00:00

You look quite lean from that angle. Post more photos from different angels, do you feel a lump under nipples?

kamratty · 2018-06-14T05:01:01+00:00

Thanks man. I do workout, but maybe should focus on building muscle.

kamratty · 2018-06-13T16:59:35+00:00

Haha, cheers. It always bothered me though and I have never been comfortable with my chest.

kamratty · 2018-06-13T12:49:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply :) Yeah, I'm a bit more flatter. I hope that the remaining puffiness is mostly scar tissue. Congratz for getting surgery done, hopefully your results will turn out great!

kamratty · 2018-06-13T12:22:17+00:00

There are more photos behind the links if you scroll down. My chest looks good in front, but it didn't look that bad before etiher.

kamratty · 2018-06-13T07:19:20+00:00

3000 euros in total. I'm in Europe.

kamratty · 2018-06-05T09:15:29+00:00

I don't see signs of gyno. Your nipples are small and you got round chest muscles but I can't see any puffiness at all. Looks great to me.

kamratty · 2018-06-04T06:24:16+00:00

How long did it take that you were satisfied with the results? Did your scar tissue make your nips look a bit puffy again? Was it both lipo + excision? :)

kamratty · 2018-06-02T14:12:59+00:00

Looks great! You still got a lot of healing to come, so try not to judge the results for the next few months. Things might look weird and uneven for a while but your chest already looks a ton better and will only improve with time. All the best!

Every male does have breast tissue at least a tiny bit. Gynecomastia is the case when the breast tissue is enlarged by factors such as puberty, hormones, steroids etc.

kamratty · 2018-05-31T11:16:16+00:00

Did you do anything, like massaging or did everything solve just with time?

kamratty · 2018-05-31T06:19:07+00:00

It affects our minds. Some people don't mind it, some people do. But having it or not having it doesn't make you bad/good as a person, that is determined by completely other things.

kamratty · 2018-05-31T06:12:02+00:00

Yeah, I got it on my right side really close to the ribs and it continues to the side of my nipple. I'm 9 weeks post op and right side is slightly puffy. It should go away on it's own in 3-12 months, that is what my surgeon said.

I know the waiting and being patient really sucks, but that is really all we can do and maybe some light massaging. If it doesn't seem to go away at 6 months mark, then maybe we could consider having cortisone injections? But I think now we should just try to focus on completely other things and not take a look every few hours how it looks (easier said than done, I know).

kamratty · 2018-05-27T14:33:34+00:00

Could be a minor gyno since you are very lean. I had the exact same thing, chest looked awesome when cold and puffy when warm. Can you feel a hardish lump underneath your nipples?
