I have over a thousand lipomas with the biggest one around 35 cm and I really need surgery to remove them but money's tight. I do have health insurance will it cover the cost of lipoma removal surgery?

Lipoma removal cost is covered by health insurance when the surgery is performed for medical reasons. But many patients undergo lipoma surgery for cosmetic reasons, due to which health insurance may not cover the treatment cost.

My height is 5.6 and weight 69 with breast size 38D. I've noticed my breasts are sagging is there any way to tighten them without surgery or changing their size? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible. What would you recommend?

While you can't completely eliminate sagging or change breast shape without surgery, you can improve the appearance of your breasts and potentially slow down the process of sagging through non-surgical methods. Focus on strengthening the pectoral muscles with exercises like push-ups and chest presses, maintaining a healthy weight, and wearing a supportive bra
