Gynecomastia surgery, which addresses male breast enlargement, is typically performed by a cosmetic surgeon (plastic surgeon). General surgeons may also perform this surgery, but plastic surgeons are often preferred due to their expertise in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures

I'm planning to get grade 1 gynecomastia surgery in Delhi but don't have anyone to accompany me on the day because of Covid. Do I really need someone with me for the procedure? Will the doctor refuse to operate if I come alone? I'm worried I might have to delay the surgery by a year if they don't allow me to go through with it solo.

surgery evaluation is advised.
