I've been dealing with enlarged male breasts for the past 12-15 years and it's really bothering me. Is there any way to reduce or remove them without surgery? I'm worried about the condition and looking for non-surgical options.

Enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia) can be treated with medication, but surgery remains the most permanent solution. Non-surgical methods like hormone therapy or weight management may help reduce symptoms.

My forehead's middle part started to grow about 10 years ago. Back then it was normal, but around 5 years ago it suddenly started growing, and now, thankfully, it's stopped. The growth is mostly on the anterior wall, though my skull hasn't shifted or anything like that. It's not causing me any issues, but honestly, I'm really bothered by how it looks and I want to fix it. What can I do about this?

Usually that could be Lipoma ,but detailed evaluation is required,visit surgeon for appropriate management

My face has gotten wider over time, especially my cheeks, and it wasn't like this before. Can I achieve a narrower face, and would I need both orthognathic surgery and plastic surgery, or just a plastic surgeon? Is this even possible? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Yes, it's possible to achieve a narrower face, and the approach depends on the cause of the widened appearance. It may require both orthognathic surgery and plastic surgery, or just plastic surgery, depending on the specific situation. A qualified surgeon can determine the best approach after a thorough assessment.
