Does Anaesthesia Type Affect Gynecomastia Surgery Cost?
Yes — anaesthesia type has a direct impact on total cost.
Most gynecomastia cases can be performed safely under local anaesthesia, which is typically 20 – 30 % more economical than general anaesthesia.

What Is the Cost Difference Between Local and General Anaesthesia in Gynecomastia Surgery?
Local anaesthesia is more affordable and offers faster recovery with no overnight stay or post-anaesthesia nausea. General anaesthesia costs higher due to OT and anaesthetist fees and often requires longer downtime.
Local Anaesthesia (Tumescent Technique) – Lower Cost, Faster Recovery
- A tumescent solution is injected to numb the chest area.
- The patient remains awake, comfortable, and fully relaxed.
- Continuous multipara monitoring (heart rate, ECG, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, respiration) ensures complete safety throughout the procedure.
- Ideal for Grades 1–3, glandular gynecomastia, and puffy nipple cases.
Advantages of Local Anaesthesia
- Quick recovery
- No overnight hospital stay
- No post-anaesthesia nausea
- Lower overall cost
- Safe for working professionals and outstation patients

When is general anaesthesia recommended for gynecomastia surgery, and how does it affect the cost?
General anaesthesia is recommended for high-grade, complex, or long-duration gynecomastia cases, and for patients who are very anxious. It adds extra cost due to anaesthetist supervision, CONOX monitoring, recovery room care, and additional medications.
GA is chosen for:
- Grade 4 gynecomastia with very large volume or loose skin
- Revision cases with fibrosis or longer surgical duration
- Highly anxious patients who prefer sleeping through the procedure
GA adds cost due to:
- Dedicated anaesthetist supervision
- Use of CONOX neuro-monitor to track anaesthesia depth
- Recovery room observation and IV support
- Additional medication requirements

Which Anaesthesia Option Is Right for You?
Local anaesthesia is usually suitable for Grades 1–3 gynecomastia, while Grade 4 and complex revision cases are better managed under general anaesthesia for comfort and safety.
| Grade | Recommended Type | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 – 2 | Local Anaesthesia | Small fat/gland volume and shorter surgical duration |
| Grade 3 | Local or General Anaesthesia | Choice depends on patient comfort, gland density, and expected duration |
| Grade 4 / Revision | General Anaesthesia | Longer surgery time, fibrosis, and higher complexity |
Final anaesthesia choice depends on patient comfort, case complexity, and safety considerations — never on cost alone.
