Sex after gynecomastia surgery. Should I worried?

February 5, 2016
Asked By:Vives25 in Kenilworth, NJ

Hello, 2 weeks ago I had gynecomastia surgery (liposuction/gland removal). I am healing pretty well and the results are already noticeable. I still have some bruising, swelling and scar tissue on both chest , but I guess that is normal at 2 weeks post op. Anyways I had sex twice recently and I'm worried that it may cause more swelling or it may slow down the healing process. My doctor said no sex for at least 4 week but i couldn't wait. Should I be worried?
