How can my friend minimize the visibility of stitch marks from jaw surgery? They're pretty noticeable and she's feeling self-conscious about them. Are there any treatments or creams that actually help fade these scars over time?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI have really large breasts and they make me feel super uncomfortable all the time. Is there any way to reduce their size naturally without going through surgery? I've heard about exercises or diet changes but not sure if they actually work. What would you recommend for someone like me who wants to avoid surgery but still reduce breast size?
Cardio exercises like running, brisk walking, and cycling help burn fat—everywhere, including your chest. Add strength training (especially pushups and dumbbell presses) to tighten up. Cut back on sodium, sugar, and saturated fats.

I'm planning to get a hair transplant but I live alone is it safe to go through the surgery by myself or should I arrange for someone to be there with me? I'm a bit worried about managing right after the procedure since I won't have help at home
You can manage alone, but having someone for the first 24–48 hours helps, especially for medications, food, and support. Arrange minimal chores post-op to avoid discomfort.
