Question:
If I get male breast reduction surgery, will I be able to work out my pecs and if so how soon afterwards?
Answer:
Male breast reduction surgery is either done with liposuction or direct incision of the excess gland. Patients can absolutely work out their pecs or muscles after the surgery. The time will depend on the procedure performed and can vary from approximately two weeks to four weeks after surgery.

Does a male breast reduction cause loss of nipple sensitivity?

Will my nipples be desensitized if I receive a male breast reduction?
Desensitization during male breast reduction depends on what type of procedure is performed. Most of these procedures can be performed just with liposuction using the laser device for this and there’s not a significant change in sensation. However, in some larger patients who have to have their skin excised, there may be some change in sensitivity.
