Thank you for your important question Sumeet,As with any #PlasticSurgery procedures, including #gynecomastia surgery, there is a need for #recovery and that includessome time off the gym and from physical activity.The best answer I can give you is to askyour #PlasticSurgeon for his/her protocol. Mostof us #PlasticSurgeons have established post-op guidelines for every procedurewe perform.In my practice in #Toronto, Canada, when performing gynecomastia surgery, I askfor no cardiovascular activity at the gym for a minimum of 4 weeks and noweight lifting for 6 weeksThis protocol minimizes the chances ofbleeding or fluid accumulation (seroma) post-operatively (seromas requirefrequent aspirations and occasionally another operation).It also allows the tissues to heal back over the pectoral muscle.Staying out of the gym for 4-6 weeks alsoallows for better healing and therefore, better scar.Hope this helps!Dr Marc DuPere, Toronto board-certifiedPlastic Surgeon
It should be possible to resume your regular bodybuilding after male breast reduction surgery, but always check with your own plastic surgeon to ensure you're healing normally first. I recommend my patients gradually resume exercises around 4 weeks, then most are doing all exercises and sports by around 6 weeks postop.
