Is it ok to play table tennis post 4 weeks of gynecomastia surgery? (photo)

Thanks for the question. After 6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can play table tennis and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

Like most things, post operative guidelines and restriction are on the conservative side so that it can capture within it's safety net, the most number of patients.  I advise patients to abstain from intense physical exertion, including sexual activities, for at least 2 weeks and sometimes up to 4 weeks. The instructions I give are tailored to each patient and depends on the amount of bruising afterwards, the extent of the surgery, and the type and duration of the activity. Your situation of requiring an aspiration of fluid on one side would make me advise you to hold off on physical activity until the fluid collection fully resolves. Follow up with your surgeon and ask his advice when you are allowed to return to playing table tennis.

I let my patients resume physical activities depending on how they are healing, usually between 4 to 6 weeks, however, this is something you need to discuss with your surgeon who knows you best. Good luck.
