I believe that it could well be scar tissue if your gland was excised and was not there when the bandages came off. I guess your surgeon will know more but be patient as swelling etc takes a while to settle and it is easy to lose hope initially.

i had bandages for about 16 hours post op and then i have been told to wear a comp vest 24hours a day for 30 days and then 12 hours a day for the other 30 days
losing my moobs was almost as painless as losing my sanity
