Recovering but..

[k88]

I had my gynecomastia surgery on 30th April'15 this year. Recovery gone well, but however, now that I'm in 4th month I'm experiencing some hard lumps in "on" and "off" mode I.e in one week I don't feel the heaviness but in other week I feel some bulky feeling.

My case was minor and had only gland excision. Not sure what this feel is. Is this sign of recovery? How should things be in 4th month post surgery for minor case with excision only? Is it possible to have gyne returning back even after surgery due to hormones imbalance or low testosterone? I do suspect at times that my hormones might be imbalanced. I didn't have the test work done before surgery because I just needed an end to this problem which had kept me behind in life in many occasions.

Please reply guys.

This may represent the development of some scar tissue.  However, your entire history is incomplete.

Best to return to your surgeon for his evaluation and opinion.

Thanks doc for your reply. Yes, I do.suspect the same. Have scheduled follow up appointment with my surgeon this Saturday. Shall keep posted.

It is normal to feel some lumps after surgery at several months. As the tissues soften generally so do the lumps.I am typically much more concerned at your stage of recovery with the visual appearance of the result.
