ive had a mild case for as long as i can remember (way before ever touching steroids ) and I decided to finally do surgery. my question is to those that actually have had surgery. how long is the recovery time? doctor said 6 weeks til i can go back to the gym. i figure he would probably know best because he is a doctor and all but that seems a little long. from the way it was explained he will make a small cut under the nipple then remove the glands. i can feel the lump he will remove . its just behind the nipple and floats above my pec. i know chicks that have had implants and were fine after a few weeks.
