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 allMy nose looks crooked from one side but fine from the other could it be because of a protruding bone? I'm worried about my face looking uneven and want to know if plastic surgery can fix it without leaving obvious marks. How much would something like that cost?
A crooked nose, especially if caused by a deviated septum or nasal bone asymmetry, can be addressed through rhinoplasty or septoplasty, both of which are surgical procedures that can reshape the nasal structure. Non-surgical options, like fillers, can also be used for minor cosmetic concerns. The cost of rhinoplasty or septoplasty can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the correction, the surgeon's experience, and the location, but it's generally a substantial investment.

I have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist and have tried allopathy, siddha, and ayurvedic treatments with no relief. One doctor recommended surgery with a plastic surgeon due to the cyst's location, but another advised against surgery there. Is there a permanent cure for ganglion cysts, and what's the success rate of surgery in this area?
While ganglion cysts can resolve on their own or with nonsurgical treatments, surgery is an option when other methods fail or cause significant problems. The success rate of ganglion cyst surgery in the wrist, especially in areas where a plastic surgeon might be involved, is generally high, with many patients experiencing relief from pain and improved function. However, recurrence is possible, and nerve or tendon injury is a rare complication
