What should I expect right after the surgery of Male Breast Reduction?

The following is what will most likely be recommended for you to do, or not do in the days following the surgery: ● Get plenty of rest ● Go for light walks, to help reduce swelling and keep your blood flowing adequately. ● Avoid some physical activities, such as contact sports, lifting weights, or any strenuous physical activity for 2-3 weeks. We will let you know when it’s time to start these activities back up. ● Do not drive if your movement is restricted at all. ● Keep the incision area clean, and check it daily for any changes such as redness or swelling. ● Avoid sun exposure to the incision areas for at least 1 year after the surgery. The sun can damage the sensitive skin and lead to worse scarring. ● Compression is important in the post-op period.
