So i have a small hole that's healing over my left nipple. I'm not sure how the inside of my nipple got cut into since the incision was supposed to be made around the edges.
Its basically a tiny circle with thin layer torn off the top of nipple. Maybe the PS cut into it accidentally or got damaged when the sutures were being removed??? I'm worried that it will not return to the natural red color and form a crater. Any thoughts?

I am facing a similar issue.
Did your issue resolve?
-
The incision scars have faded significantly although you can see it when I shave my chest. The incision made on the left side was not done as precisely as the right. Either way, its imperceptible unless you sit there and scrutinize. Who is your PS?

I had my surgery in India, so I doubt you would know my surgeon :D
In my case, I had a small cut right in the center of my nipple which led to the nipple getting inverted. Although the cut has healed, the nipple center still hasnt popped out.

How long did it take for your swelling to totally subside gentlemen?
-
It is hard to say if my swelling has completely subsided, but there werent any changes size-wise after the 6 week mark.
-
what do you mean there weren't any changes size wise after the six week mark?
-
I mean no changes in the size of the chest or puffiness....so i assume that the swelling completely subsided in the first six weeks.

oh got you, i am nervous now because I still have two lumps under both nipples one is very small so I assume it is soley scar tissue but the other one is quite large almost the size of the breast tissue I had before the only difference is my aereola is not cone like.
