Hi, I had a liposuction surgery for my breast 4 days a go and I want to lose a couple pounds so my question is can I do fast walking or just normal walking for like an hour and go on a diet or I need to wait for more day's?

Answer: Walking after gynecomastia surgery? Thank you for your question. I would recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to verify their recommendations as far as physical activity after gynecomastia surgery. I encourage my patients to walk after surgery, however, they are not released to full activity until after 3 weeks. Again, be sure to check with your plastic surgeon to verify when they would like you to return to full activity. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Walking after Gynecomastia Surgery Thanks for your question. Your surgeon would be able to best address any questions regarding activity level after surgery, as he or she knows you best. In general, any degree of walking is recommended after surgery. Strenuous exercise (heart rate over 100) or heavy lifting (greater than 10 lbs) is typically not recommended until you are 4-6 weeks out from your gynecomastia surgery. It's always important to eat a healthy, well-rounded diet, so I would continue to maintain good nutrition to help your healing. Best of luck!
