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

View allMy lower lip is noticeably bigger than my upper lip, especially on the left side where it seems to droop down more. I also have some facial asymmetry my left side looks slightly bigger and looser compared to the right, which feels tighter. The tissue on the left side seems less firm, affecting my cheek and lip. Would lower lip reduction surgery help correct this? I'd like to understand more about the procedure and if it's the right option for me. Can we set up a video call to discuss this further? I'm based in Pune.
Lower lip reduction surgery can help address asymmetry, but facial analysis by a plastic surgeon is essential. They can assess muscle tone and tissue balance. You’d need to consult locally in Pune; video consultations are offered by many clinics.

I have deep burn scars on the back of my right knee and I'm wondering if plastic surgery could help remove them. How effective is it for this kind of scarring and what should I expect from the procedure?
Plastic surgery can be effective in improving the appearance and functionality of deep burn scars, although it won't fully remove them. It can reduce the size, depth, and prominence of scars, and help restore functionality if the scar is constricting movement. The specific procedures used will depend on the location, size, and depth of the scars, as well as the patient's individual goals
