The first week, patients should just take it easy. After a week, I permit cardio, and after two weeks, resistance training is allowed. No chest exercises for four weeks.
Light activity is permitted immediately, but patients shouldn’t do anything to increase heart rate or blood pressure to avoid bleeding or fluid accumulation.
During your Male Breast Reduction examination with Dr. Rick Silverman, he will perform a thorough chest exam and analyze your medical history looking for potential medical causes for Gynecomastia. For more information about this procedure check out our Gynecomastia Extended FAQ page.
