Hello I'm a 16 year old male who has a case of gyno and I'm a three sport athlete.(football,indoor track,lacrosse) And I was wondering how long after the surgery can I return to play the sports I love. Football starts in a week. I heard that there is some pain but I want to know just how sever the pain is. I can take some pain but will it be to the point that I won't be able to play football because of the pain? Thank you for taking the time to read this question,

Answer: When am I able to play physical sports after gyno surgery? 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.

Answer: Sports after male breast reduction It would be a tremendous mistake to attempt to rush back too soon from male breast reduction. It may take at least a month before you can start training for a physical sport, and months before you can start playing again. The first step is to identify a qualified surgeon to perform the procedure. Consult with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to understand your options. Once you find the surgeon that meets your needs, then follow the directions as your surgeon would be able to understand your case and the specifics about you.
