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

Answer: Resuming Athletic Activity Following Gynecomastia Surgery 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.

Answer: Returning to Baseball After Gynecomastia Surgery This is something you need to address with your surgeon. For my patients, I have them wait 4 to 6 weeks before returning to formal exercise. Good luck!

Answer: Recovery from gynecomastia surgery There are several technical options for the treatment of gynecomastia, and the nature of the treatment determines the time needed before it is safe to return to vigorous athletic activity. For my patients the time ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, as determined by the method of correction and your progress with recovery. I would recommend that you speak with your surgeon, since he or she can give the best advice. If a patient experiences swelling upon return to athletic activity, I often recommend that he put the elastic vest back on for a few hours, apply ice, and restrict salt in the diet.

Answer: Gynecomastia surgery and sports Every patient heals differently, and certain procedures are more invasive than others. In general, I tell patients that they can return to vigorous activity within about 6-8 weeks. Best to ask your surgeon.
