From the photos, it does appear that you have moderate gynecomastia with some skin laxity.

When you mean skin laxity do you mean that will require skin tightining if I was to do the surgery?

[Litlriki]

No, I would think your skin would retract adequately with a properly executed procedure.  (I'm saying that without any knowledge of past weight loss and skin type, all of which will impact the outcome.)

oh ok, we'll I was 96 kilograms before 3 months ago, now I am 85 so good so far, I want to drop down to 80 KG before thinking of surgery even though I am thinking of it right now.
What kind of anasthetic would be best for my case? Because surgerons in London are pretty much offering local  in consultations, would you think I am a suitable candidate for local only , with sedation or twilight?

[Litlriki]

Local with sedation works well if that's what the surgeon is accustomed to and he has a good team with whom he works.  Straight local is not a great option for a primary procedure.
