This is a classic Zone 1 gynecomastia case shown one year after treatment. The patient returned for a follow-up due to occasional puffiness under his right nipple, which becomes more noticeable when the area is warm. This is a common occurrence caused by scar tissue formation.
Patients are often hesitant to massage near the nipple due to the location of the incision. However, it is safe to begin massaging the area two weeks post-op—you will not cause harm. It’s important to keep the incision clean and dry to prevent crusting, as scabs can harbor bacteria. Once healing has progressed, you may begin massage as long as there is no crusting or scabbing present.
