Suffering 4m gyno. Can this surgery be performed w/o lipo? How much risk does only gland excision carry? Any reported deaths?

jabberwocky86
As LIPO involves DVT and PE I don't want to undergo liposuction. After bringing my body fat index down to 12% range i hope I'll be left with only gland tissue. So, does this gland extraction process (mastectomy) also carries risk? If yes, whay are those risk?
