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: 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
