View allI've been told that lipomas can't be treated with just meds and mine is right in the middle of my forehead. The doc mentioned surgery could be risky are there any other options I could explore?
Lipomas on the forehead typically require surgery, but if your doctor is concerned about the risks, other options like liposuction or steroid injections could be discussed. A second opinion could help clarify if surgery is necessary.

My jaw is uneven and I'm considering surgery to fix it. Can you explain how this problem can be corrected and what the approximate cost would be?
Your doctor may choose: Maxillary osteotomy. This is a surgery performed on the upper jaw to correct open bites or cross bites. The upper jaw and teeth are moved forward so they align with the lower jaw and teeth

I'm considering liposuction but not sure if it's the right choice for me. What are the pros and cons of this procedure? Are there any risks I should know about before deciding? How do I know if I'm a good candidate for this surgery?
Liposuction, a cosmetic surgery, offers the potential to reshape body contours by removing stubborn fat deposits, but it's not a weight loss procedure and carries potential risks and complications. Pros: Improved Body Shape: Liposuction can enhance body contours, particularly in areas where fat is resistant to diet and exercise. Increased Self-Confidence: Improved appearance can boost self-esteem and confidence. Permanent Fat Cell Removal: Liposuction removes fat cells permanently, meaning they won't return if you gain weight. Targeted Fat Reduction: It can address specific areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips. Cons: Not a Weight Loss Solution: Liposuction primarily reshapes body contours and is not intended for significant weight loss. Risks and Complications: Possible risks include infection, bleeding, numbness, scarring, and uneven results or skin irregularities. Incomplete Fat Removal: Liposuction can't remove all fat in the treated area, and some fat may remain. Potential for Sagging Skin: If skin elasticity is poor, the skin may appear loose or sagging after liposuction.
