I am 2 weeks post op and only had the tissue cut from behind my nipple, there was no liposuction or incision made anywhere else other than my areola area. My still have the loop and knot from my disovable stitches showing on my nipple but as for the incision itself is already closed and healed. I have no bruising anymore and am only slightly tender. My question is since I didn't get the full surgery (lipo) am I good to get back in the gym or do I still need to wait the 4-6 weeks? I've already been walking on the treadmill and doing light leg workouts on machines the past 3 days and I feel fine. Obviously I won't jump right into doing chest workouts but as far as arms, back,  shoulders and legs do you guys think I'm good to go?

This is a question best posed to your surgeon -- he knows the extent of your surgery and is in the best position to advise you.  A simple phone call should suffice.
