Can Gynecomastia Revision surgery to remove scar tissue be performed under local anesthesia? (photos)

In order for us to assess the outcome of a procedure we need to see before and after pictures. Your results may be acceptable and should not have a revision based on what you looked like before or the procedure may have been insufficient.

I think your welcome is related to how tissue was removed and not the formation of scar tissue.

Revision surgery can be done using local anesthesia if the surgeon prefers to do it that way.

I would make sure you’re working with someone who is a board-certified plastic surgeon with many years of experience and a proven track record for gynecomastia surgery. This typically means during in person consultation the provider can show you an impressive collection of before and after pictures typically at least 50 sets of these pictures should be sufficient to show they have lots of experience.

Otherwise follow up with your provider or start having in person consultations.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD

You really need to be examined in person but I believe that this can be improved (always aim for improvement rather than a perfect result) with surgery done under local anesthetic. I like to give some oral sedation as well to keep the patient more relaxed. You should be able to return to work the next day.
