What's differ other than appearance after surgery
Answer: Will Gynecomastia Surgery Affect Strength? The surgery does not involve muscles, however you do need to take time out from working out so that your chest can heal. Talk to your board certified plastic surgeon about resuming power lifting. I want my patients to wait 6 weeks before resuming any type of formal exercise, then increase gradually. Good luck.

Answer: Gynecomastia surgery Thank you for your question. You really should have no difference other than appearance after gynecomastia surgery. The muscle is not touched- excess gland and fat tissue should be removed. Best to speak to a board certified plastic surgeon. All the best,

Answer: Strength after surgery You should not notice any change in your strength after gynecomastia surgery. The surgery is all done above the pectoralis major muscle and no division or cutting of the muscle is part of the surgery. For active men, it is vital to wear the postoperative compression garment and dedicate some time to allow proper recovery. Doing too much too soon is a common story when complications such as hematomas or seromas arise. You only get one chance to heal properly the first time, so build the recovery into your calendar and heed your surgeon's recommendations regarding returning to strenuous activity.

Answer: Will I lose strength after gyno surgery? Will it affect my Powerlifting routine? No, you will not lose strength after gynecomastia surgery. This procedure involves "adjustments" of the tissues superficial to your musculoskeletal structures. Best wishes.

Answer: Strength after gyno surgery Thanks for your quesion.When having gynecomastia surgery you are not cutting any aspect of the pectoralis major muscle, which is the main chest muscle. You are simply removing the breast tissue and the breast bud. You should be able to return to power lifting in 4-6 weeks, gradually increasing the weights to your pre-surgery weights.Thank you
