Should I do a revision
​
Hey everyone, I’m considering a revision surgery and wanted to hear from people with experience to see whether my expectations are realistic.
I had gynecomastia surgery about 12 years ago with Dr. Blau. He intentionally didn’t remove the entire gland on both sides to avoid creating a crater deformity/cavity.
I actually didn’t wear a compression garment afterward, but overall the results were still pretty decent after about a year, and I was mostly happy.
However, once all the swelling fully settled (around the 12-month mark), I noticed lumps under both nipples especially on the right side. At the time I assumed it was scar tissue that would eventually go away.
Unfortunately, it never did, and it still bothers me to this day. I’m in pretty good shape, but I still have puffy nipples with firm lumps underneath them.
I’m now thinking about getting a revision done (haven’t explored surgeons yet) and was wondering:
Is it realistic to get a flatter result by removing the remaining gland/scar tissue completely?
Would this usually require full incisions under the nipple again?
Has anyone here had a successful revision for a similar issue?
Would really appreciate hearing about your experiences.
