To minimize the visibility of stitch marks from jaw surgery, your friend should focus on proper wound care, including avoiding sun exposure and using silicone scar gels or sheets. Medical treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, and steroid injections can also help improve the appearance of scars over time.

My nipples have been feeling hard and look bigger than usual, making my chest appear weird. There's also some hardness around the nipple area. Could this be gynecomastia? I'm curious about the surgery cost, recovery time, and any possible side effects. Also, since I work in IT, would the surgery cost be reimbursable? Any advice would be helpful.

surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
