Had mild to moderate gyno in both nipples for about 7 years. Just had surgery about 48 hours ago. Decided to go with local anesthesia only. Cheaper, safer, better recovery. Had glands removed and lipo. Took about 2 hours. Walked out of their feeling like a million bucks. Next day I could have gone to work but didn't. I walked 5 miles to buy some compression shirts. Today, 48 hours after surgery, I am back at work and feel great. Took a shower this morning. Some swelling, not much bruising. Nipples are all taped up so can't tell about those. Been very, very little pain. I would say even less pain than if I did a really hard chest workout after a layoff. It's really nothing.
If anybody is thinking of doing local instead of general, I would highly recommend it. You can't be squeamish, but the benefits are huge. Actually the worst thing about the whole situation is the itchiness of the compression shirt/pads, etc...

Good job and good luck with your recovery. All the itchiness and pain will well worth it at the end. You will be a happy guy this summer.
