"I Want to Exercise Soon"

What this person worried about most before surgery was pain. They wrote that they were sore for about a week afterward, and that after that it did not hurt and they were fine.

That is the course they experienced; the degree and duration of pain vary with the extent of excision and individual condition. Some feel it for a shorter time, some longer.

The early schedule, though, is largely the same. We operate under sedation, and the first 12 to 48 hours carry a risk of bleeding, so you spend them with additional compression over the garment. When you come in the next day, we check for bleeding and remove that extra compression. The soreness is generally greatest during this period.

Asked about their impression of the first visit, they answered that a kind consultation gave them confidence.

It is one line, but that one line is what we aim for. Gynecomastia is care that requires showing and discussing a part you have kept hidden for a long time. If that setting is not comfortable, you go home without asking what you meant to ask.

For what they most wanted to do after surgery, this person said they wanted to exercise again soon.

Many people who have this surgery have trained consistently for years. They come because that one area would not come into line through exercise. So when they can train again becomes a question as important as the surgery.

During the compression period right after surgery, upper-body exercise is not possible. Light walking and lower-body squats are fine even then, and when upper-body training can resume is advised at visits as we watch your progress. Rushing it does not help recovery, so I ask that this part in particular be observed.

In the last box, this person expressed high satisfaction and a wish to recommend the surgery. That is their personal experience, and whether surgery is needed is something to judge after confirming your condition through an examination. The answers were short, but they read clearly enough to me. Enjoy the training.
