Working out After Male Breast Reduction Surgery

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

Usually as long as the procedure was uneventful, is advised to start heavy exercises after 4 to 6 weeks and  start slower or with less weight until your back to prior level of exercise / weight before surgery.

Thank you for your question.After your #gynecomastia #surgery, you should start moving around once you feel up to it. Moderate
walking around will help promote healing. Listen to your body, it will tell you
if you are doing too much too soon. Do not return to strenuous activities
or aerobic #exercise for 4-6 weeks. If you want to know what activities are
acceptable at any time during the healing process, please call your #BoardCertified #PlasticSurgeon.

There is probably no absolute consensus on this topic.  I prescribe patients avoid heavy or repetitive pectoralis muscle exercises until I am sure there is no problem with seromas, drains are removed and most of the swelling from surgery is resolved.   This varies from patient to patient, typically 2-3 weeks for minor gynecomastia reductions and up to 6-8 weeks for larger procedures.  

After male breast reduction or gynecomastia surgery, the
chest needs time to heal and for the tissues to fuse back together. As a
result, I usually recommend four weeks of no exercise, two more weeks after that of
light lower body non-impact exercise and then easing back into regular exercise
starting at six weeks. I would not pursue excessive chest exercise for the
first six weeks after surgery and after that time, I would ease into the
exercises slowly and carefully ensuring the chest is not particularly sore as
long as you are cautious, use your body as a guide and take care during that
first 4-6 week period not to injure the surgical sites.
