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.

View allI have a weird issue where there's a lot of fat only in my left chest but my right chest is totally normal. My BMI is fine, I even have visible abs, so it's not a general fat problem. I've tried medicines to dissolve the fat but nothing worked. Could this be a hormonal imbalance? I'm desperate to fix this, even if it means surgery what options do I have?
FNAC of that fat deposit should be done to rule out any malignant disease. If it's only Lipoma, than it can be surgically removed by a small operation. That's it

I've been into sports and bodybuilding for the last couple of years, but I've noticed my nipples getting puffy and it's making me really self-conscious, especially when wearing t-shirts. I think it might be gynecomastia. Are there any medications that can help reduce this, or would I need surgery? If surgery is the only option, how much does it usually cost?
Puffy nipples, often a sign of gynecomastia, can be a source of self-consciousness. While medications can sometimes help, surgery is often the most effective solution. Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, involves removing excess breast tissue and fat. The cost of surgery in India can range from approximately ‚Çπ38,000 to ‚Çπ70,000, but varies depending on factors like the severity of the condition and the surgeon's experience

My breasts are sagging and I'm really worried about it. Is there any treatment that doesn't involve surgery? Can medicines help fix this issue? I'm not comfortable with going under the knife so looking for other options
To improve the firmness and lift of sagging breasts without surgery, using creams or oils that contain ingredients like **retinol, peptides, or vitamin E** may help improve skin elasticity.
