Hello, I am 3 weeks removed from gynecomastia surgery(gland removal and liposuction) and I'm pleased with results, I see my surgeon in two weeks but I do have a decent amount of swelling on the left side(left side had more tissue) and I'm hoping it's just becasue there was more done to it. I'm normally a very active guy and I'm just wondering how long it will be before I can step on the court again. Also, if the swelling is due to fluid, will that push my recovery time back even farther? thanks so much.

I totally understand your frustration, but 5 weeks is really too soon to be passing judgement on your results. You are still swollen and very well could be for the next few months. For now, be patient. If you are still not happy at 6 months post op then speak with your surgeon.
Like everything, there is a scale of "normal". Your nipples are simply on the larger end of that scale. If they really bug you, you could schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss nipple reduction surgery, but this will probably also reduce your nipple sensation....
