I've been noticing a gap in my abdominal muscles after pregnancy and heard it might be diastasis recti. Which specialist should I see for this in India and are there any non-surgical treatments that actually work? I'm worried surgery might be the only option

Diastasis recti can be improved with physical therapy focusing on core strengthening; a physiotherapist or plastic surgeon can guide treatment.

I'm planning to get a hair transplant but I live alone is it safe to go through the surgery by myself or should I arrange for someone to be there with me? I'm a bit worried about managing right after the procedure since I won't have help at home

You can manage alone, but having someone for the first 24‚Äì48 hours helps, especially for medications, food, and support. Arrange minimal chores post-op to avoid discomfort.

I'm 22 and my breasts haven't grown much they still seem really small. Is there anything I can do to help them develop naturally without surgery? I'm feeling a bit self-conscious about it and would love some advice.

The truth is that there are very few things you can do naturally that will increase the overall size of your breast or chest tissues. That said, exercise can change the overall appearance of your pectoral muscles, which lie under your breast tissues.
