I used to practice hot yoga for 3 years. Recently I had gynecomastia surgery. I just wanted to know when is it safe to resume hot yoga (100 degrees F)? Or should I opt for non heated yoga classes? I usually practice without a t-shirt, but after the surgery is it advisable to wear a compression tank to keep the wound away from heat and keep the skin compressed against the chest? If so, for how long?
Answer: Use of A Compression Garment & Resuming Yoga After Gynecomastia Surgery We require our #patients to wear a compression garment for the a few weeks following their #Gynecomastia surgery. The #compression garment helps to reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly you will heal.We recommend it not be removed, at all, until the second or third day after the surgery. After that, we suggest they feel free to temporarily remove the #garment for showering or laundering only. We encourage our patients to maintain circumferential pressure for 4-6 weeks, but they may switch to an exercise compression garment when advised.

Answer: Hot Yoga After Gynecomastia Surgery I typically advise patients to avoid any strenuous activity for at least 4, if not 6 weeks. So I would say to be safe, I would wait until six weeks before doing yoga. It also might be helpful to keep a compressive shirt in place when you first start out. I do not think the temperature of the room should have any affect on your surgical outcome at 6 weeks after surgery. Bottom line, always best to discuss these concerns with the plastic surgeon who did your procedure and ask what he or she would advise.Best of luck to you!
