When am I able to play physical sports after gyno surgery? (Photo)

Thank you for the question and picture. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to returning to specific activities. Generally speaking, returning to contact sports may be delayed for one to two months, assuming that you are doing well. One week will not enough time to return to contact sports. My best suggestion: select your plastic surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she has significant/demonstrable experience helping patients achieve the types of you will be pleased with.  Then, as difficult as this may be given how active you are, schedule the surgery such that you will have time for adequate recovery. You may find the attached link, dedicated to gynecomastia surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. For many of our patients, this time tends to be between high school and college.  Best wishes.

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. I suggest you get approval from your doctor before you begin any physical activity and workout regimens. It important to prevent any damage to the surgical sites as you are healing. This will decrease your chance of requiring #revision procedures in the future. The best advice is to be patient as it is still very early in your post-operative #healing.
