A member asked:
Is a skin ulcer formation a normal side effect after having gynecomastia surgery?
6 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
No: The skin ulcer could represent a healing problem or may be a coincidence unrelated to your surgery. You should ask your surgeon to examine the area.

It depends on the : Size of the breast reduction and whether the patient smoked or not. And what is your definition of ulcer.

No: No, ulcer formation is not a “normal side effect”. Best to be evaluated by your surgeon for accurate assessment and treatment recommendations.
