Resuming Normal Activities

WORK: Follow the plan you and Dr. Zevon have agreed upon. For planning purposes, you can assume that you will be able to return to work within 5 to 7 days, although some male breast reduction patients are able to return to work sooner. If your job involves heavy lifting, you may not be able to return to work for several weeks.

ACTIVITY AND EXERCISE: Avoid sexual activity for a week or two, depending on how you feel. Don't do anything that hurts your chest. For at least four weeks, avoid vigorous activity, including strenuous sexual activity and contact sports. Stay away from any sport or job that puts you at risk of a blow to the chest area. Do not lift heavy weight (more than 10 pounds.) During this time, walking is fine. Dr. Zevon will give you permission to increase your activities according to the progress of your recovery and your overall fitness level.

EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT: Scars take at least one year to fade to their greatest extent. During this time, it is advisable to protect them from the sun. Be especially careful if areas of skin on your chest have reduced sensitivity. Use a high SPF sunscreen. We carry sunscreens suitable for post-surgery breast reduction patients.
