i'm an 18-year-old guy dealing with gynecomastia and feeling pretty self-conscious about it. is surgery the only option to fix this? also, how much would the procedure usually cost?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Gynecomastia usually goes away without medical treatment. The breasts flatten out within a few months to a couple of years. If gynecomastia is very severe, there is medicine that can help. And if gynecomastia lasts past puberty, surgery can reduce the size of the breasts.

my left hand got caught in a machine and three fingers were completely cut off - is there any chance surgery could fix this or is it too late
Yes, there's a chance surgery, specifically a replantation, could reattach your severed fingers, but it's crucial to act quickly. The success of replantation depends on several factors, including the time elapsed since the injury and the extent of damage.

I'm only 18 but I've put on so much fat around my thighs and love handles that I look way older than I am. No matter what I try, diet or exercise, nothing seems to work. Since my job requires me to maintain a certain appearance, I'm considering liposuction. Can you tell me about the costs and potential side effects of the procedure?
It's understandable to feel self-conscious about body changes, especially at 18. Love handles and thigh fat can make you feel less confident and even older. However, it's important to remember that body shapes and sizes vary naturally, and there are healthy ways to address these concerns. Focusing on overall health and well-being can lead to positive changes and help you feel more confident in your own skin.
