Swelling from lifting weights 6-7 weeks after gynecomastia surgery (double Mastectomy and liposuction)?

May 25, 2019
Asked By:SJJ4444 in Australia, AU

I had Gynecomastia surgery including a double mastectomy and liposuction 7 weeks ago. The surgeon advised weightlifting could recommence 6 weeks from surgery, including chest which I did. Have noticed enlargement of my breasts which looks similar to the original gynecomastia. Can this be as a result or the gynecomastia returning. Is it safe to be doing this exercise? Could I have ruined the results? Photo 2 is the most recent. Photo 1 was taken closer to the surgery.
