I've been thinking about cosmetic jaw surgery to improve my smile and fix my jaw alignment, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. What are the pros and cons of getting this done? Also, how much does it usually cost in India? I'm a bit worried about recovery and potential risks but really want a better-looking jawline.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've had an oral mucous retention cyst for about a year and a half now. I ignored it at first, but now I want to get rid of it. Is surgery the only way to remove it, or are there antibiotics that can help? If I do get surgery, will the stitches dissolve on their own and how long does that usually take? Also, will there be a permanent scar after it's removed?
Oral mucous retention cysts usually require surgery for removal, as antibiotics won’t solve the problem. The stitches used during surgery are often dissolvable, and scarring can be minimal, depending on the surgery technique.

I noticed a white patch on the right side of my tongue that extends to the floor of my mouth, about 2.5 cm in size. I saw an oncologist who recommended laser surgery costing around 10k with admission, but another oncologist suggested excision with frozen section and a 2-day hospital stay for about 2 lakhs, plus extracting my lower 8th tooth. I'm confused should I go with an oncologist or an ENT specialist for this?
ENT or oncologist both manage such lesions; decision depends on biopsy results, margins, and surgical expertise required.
