surgery and working out

[kanteleman666]

for those who went under the knife, how long until you were able to start working out again? Or is it better to work out and get some chest countour prior to surgery despite it being worse for puffy nips?

Recovery and return to activity after gynecomastia surgery depend on the problem to be treated, skills of the surgeon, surgical techniques, how you heal and other factors.  I prefer techniques that minimze swelling and bruising after gynecomastia surgery. 

I sculpt many Bodybuilders with Gynecomastia and most tell me that their Puffy Nipples tends to look worse with muscle building.  As they build their muscles, what sits on top gets pushed further out.

Hope this helps,
