Hello, I had surgery 5 weeks ago.  My doc did lipo and an incision around the nipples with dissolvable stitches.  Since the tape was taken off about 2 weeks ago, I'm noticing puckering around my nipples and on one side a crease.  Is this normal?  I was categorized as severe and had a lot taken out.  I'm hoping this puckering is just part of the healing process.

Photos would be helpful. At this stage, if you had a peri-areolar reduction that was significant, the puckering would still be present to some degree.  This will improve over time, but depending on how severe it was at the time of surgery (how much of a mis-match you had), there may always be a little bit of puckering.  It will continue to improve for months and months.
