I am at 11 days post-op , and I know I am not really supposed to be exercising, but am I able to go for a walk ? I am kind of getting bored being at home resting
Answer: Exercise After Gynecomastia Surgery This is something you should discuss with your surgeon who knows you best. For my patients, I don not want them to do any type of formal exercise for 4 to 6 weeks depending on how they are healing. However, walking is good. Good luck.

Answer: Exercise following Gynecomastia Correction Surgery You should speak to your surgical team about restrictions following surgery, especially concerning timelines for exercise. At our practice, patients having a gynecomastia correction surgery are discouraged from exercise for 4 to 6 weeks and must wear a special compression garment for added support during this time. Of course each patient’s recovery is different and some patients may require more time. We do encourage patients to get up and walk and most are able to return to work after a week but heavy lifting and heavy exercise is discouraged to avoid injury. During regular routine post surgical check ups, the surgeon or nurse can determine what activities a patient can start slowly introducing and provide realistic timelines for returning to the patient’s regular exercise regiment.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear ntg,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. Generally speaking, most patients are encouraged to walk right after the surgery. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery

Answer: A: Gynecomastia Thank you for your question I usually encourage my patient to walk as soon as possible. It is good to reduce the risk of blood clot but also for your mental health : ) The important is to wear your dressing/garnment that your surgeon suggested. Not exercice is recommended for 4-6 weeks post-op. Please consult with your surgeon for other follow-up instruction. Best Wishes Dr Genevieve F.Caron, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Montreal, Canada
