Two months postoperative for my male breast reduction.
Posted April 02, 2011 10:19 AM in Male breast reduction
I'm only two months postoperative for my male breast reduction. I'm ready to get back to my exercise routine except that every time I try jogging I feel like my boobs are jiggling even though I don't have boobs anymore. Is this normal, and is there anything I could do to make exercising more comfortable?
I would suggest to not jog at this point if it's too tender, and instead go to an activity that doesn't result in quite as much pressure, such as StairMaster or elliptical training or even a stationary bicycle until the time is right and they don't hurt anymore. For a woman after a traditional breast reduction who is uncomfortable at two months with the feeling, I would suggest a tight sports bra before any exercise.

I am only 18 but I have gynecomastia.

I am only 18 but I have gynecomastia. I thought only older men get this, if I had surgery to remove this fatty tissue, is there a possibility of that returning as I get older?
It's not unusual for younger people, especially the teenagers, to get gynecomastia. This is generally from an overdose or high production of testosterone that spills over into estrogen, so absolutely it is possible that younger people get this. Surgery to remove this includes liposuction. I tend to use a laser device to remove this tissue, and actually I've had excellent results with the Zeltiq Cryolipolysis for this. In our practice, we test everybody with gynecomastia for testosterone and estrogen levels because it’s our finding that if you don't correct the estrogen problem with the administration of an estrogen blocker for patients with high estrogen levels, it will return.
