When can I start lifting after gynecomastia surgery? If I gain a little weight while resting, will my breast size enlarge?

August 26, 2015
Asked By:garrettrennie in Los Alamitos, CA

Its been 4 weeks now since the surgery. I feel that I have gained weight for all the time I have been resting. Will my breast size grow with this weight? When can I start doing chest workouts? What about scar tissue buildup in the breast? Will the scar tissue continue to build and make my breasts look bigger? What can I do to get rid of scar tissue buildup? Im only 16 years old, and I worry that mu hormones are still active and fear that my breasts will grow back again. Please help.
