Your question is not completely clear. Did you have a blood collection or clear fluid collection that needed to be drained?
After gynecomastia surgery you can expect immediate results albeit with some swelling. 2 weeks after the surgery normal scar tissue will form below the areola. This will soften and go away by 8-12 weeks. If you had a blood collection (hematoma) the blood forms like concrete and can take much longer to resorb. Sometimes it does not completely resorb. If your fluid collection is clear fluid than you can expect complete resolution in 8-12 weeks. Apply compression
