Post-Gynecomastia Surgery: Is Hardness and Swelling Normal at Two Months?
6 days ago
I underwent gynecomastia surgery two months ago, but I still feel some hardness and swelling under the nipples. Is this normal during recovery, or could it be a sign of incomplete fat removal or scar tissue formation?

If you had gynecomastia surgery two months ago and still feel some hardness or swelling under the nipples, this is usually normal. Healing and remodeling of tissues can take several months, and mild firmness is often due to scar tissue or residual fluid. It’s not necessarily a sign that fat was left behind. However, if you notice increasing pain, redness, asymmetry, or unusual lumps, you should follow up with your surgeon for reassurance and evaluation. Typically, firmness and minor swelling gradually improve over 3–6 months post-surgery.
