I have scars with a tattoo over them on my forearm and want to get rid of both. A doctor told me laser tattoo removal won't fix the scars would plastic surgery work for this? I'm worried about how effective it'll be and if it's the right option.

Hey, I've noticed that the hole in my left earlobe is a bit bigger compared to my right one, and I'm worried about it. I'm wondering if there's any treatment or simple surgery that won't be painful, to reduce the size of the earlobe hole. It's affecting how earrings look on me, especially smaller ones. What should I do now?

I have loose skin under my arms and I'm not sure which specialist to see for this. Is surgery the only option to get rid of it or are there other treatments available?

Loose skin can be addressed by plastic surgeons. If mild, radiofrequency or ultrasound-based skin tightening helps. For moderate to severe cases, brachioplasty (skin removal surgery) is the solution.
