4 days is very after surgery with some techniques.

Posting Standard Before and After Pictures (http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/male_breast_photo.html) can help others better understand your concerns.

How tissues
evolve after surgery (http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/male_breast/gynecomastia_healing.html) depends on the problem treated, surgical technique, skill of the surgeon, after care, scar care, and how a patient heals.  I prefer my Dynamic Technique (http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/male_breast/chest_dynamic_sculpture.html) in which there is minimal bruising and swelling.  The biggest change happens on the operating table.  That is how I am able to post images the day after surgery.  However, further refinement happens over time as sculpted tissues evolves as they soften with scar care, compression, and healing.  As with any cut, tissues need to heal and soften.

You can see other examples of early results:

in this competition body builder here (http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/male_breast/gyno_bodybuilder.html).

This one sided (unilateral) gynecomastia shows the swelling after surgery
typical swelling after my gynecomastia surgery (http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/male_breast/gyno_surgery_swelling.html) compaired to the side that had No Surgery

Here is another example of early healing after unilateral surgery typically seen with my techniques. (http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/male_breast/male_mastectomy_healing.html) 

Here is another example of
typical minimal swelling and bruising in a 14 year old patient (http://http) with more images images of tissue evolution and swelling here. (http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/male_breast/large_breast_teen_male.html). 

You can find many more examples on my website of primary gynecomastia tissue evolution.

This is real surgery and tissues do need to heal just like any other cut or injury.

Hope this helps,
