Possible to perform Gynecomastia surgery under local anesthesia? It's a mild case. Slightly elevated breast+nipples. I know some doctors excuse is compromised results but it's just fat removal no sculpting involved

Answer: Some gynecomastia procedures can be done under twilight
If your gynecomastia doesn't require extensive skin excision, you may be a great candidate to have your surgery done under twilight with local anesthesia. In fact, this is very commonly done.

Answer: Gynecomastia Surgery with Local Anesthetic/Twilight Sedation Hi greeneyepeas,Thanks for the post. The type of anesthesia used is based on several factors:1. The magnitude of the surgery: the more extensive the surgery the higher the level of anesthesia2. The disposition of the patient: patient anxiety levels at being awake3. Surgeon preference: every surgeon has their preferred way of obtaining consistent predictable results.Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand
