Mild hardness beneath the nipple and occasional pain can occur for several months after gynecomastia surgery due to the normal healing process or scar tissue formation. However, it is important to have it examined to ensure your recovery is progressing normally.

Please schedule a follow up appointment with your surgeon. If the hardness is increasing or you notice severe pain, redness, swelling, fever, or any discharge from the surgical site, seek medical evaluation promptly.

It can be because of scarring or contraction of excess loose skin. It is advisable to come for a follow up consultation for examination.
