How Long Can I Get Back to Weight Training After Gyno Surgery? Excision Only

Often times, my male patients who wish to have gynecomastia surgery are extremely fit since they first try heavy exercise and diet to get rid of their excess breast tissue. This breast tissue and fat can cause low self esteem, and can be easily corrected with the gynecomastia procedure. I recommend a period of 2-3 weeks for extreme weight training, or 2 weeks for regular exercise.  

Thanks for the question. After 6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do gym and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

Usually 1 week after #gynecomastia surgery you can begin taking moderate walks or ride a stationary bike. Strenuous workouts or aerobic #exercise can begin around 4 weeks post-op. Please get approval from your doctor before you begin any workout regimen.

I typically recommend that my patients refrain from upper body exercise for at least 6 weeks after this type of surgery.  Good luck
and be safe.John T.

You should ask your surgeon for their advice, as they have the specific details pertaining to your surgery. Generally speaking, it is about a month or so.
