Gynecomastia Surgery under twilight or local anaesthetic - possible? (photos)

fruit_rollup
Hi, I am currently researching Gynecomastia surgery in Melbourne, Victoria and I believe I will need to have gland excision + lyposuction. I have attached some images of the problematic area. I would love to find a surgeon that can conduct this surgery under twilight or local anaesthetic instead of general anaesthetic. Would this be possible? Also keen to hear thoughts on the severity of this case and what to expect on the day of surgery + aftercare.
