I've had this old scar on my cheek from an abscess for 67 years now and I'm really bothered by it. Would plastic surgery be a good option to remove or reduce it? What kind of results can I expect and are there any risks I should know about?

There are a lot of treatment options for scars available as of today. The treatment depends on the duration of scar and facilities available. The advance treatment option includes Fractional CO2 lasers in multiple sessions. Topical medications may be of little use and will supplement laser treatment.Other treatment option include dermaroller. Plastic surgery of scar is seldom done now-a days. Next Steps Fractional CO2 lasers work best for scars. Health Tips Avoid Self Medications.

I'm considering FUT hair transplant but I'm a bit nervous about it - can you explain the pros and cons in simple terms? Also is this procedure actually safe or are there risks I should know about before deciding
If you're considering FUT, it's important to discuss the potential for scarring with your surgeon. FUE leaves only small scars that are virtually invisible, so this may be a better option if you're worried about scarring. Keloid scars are also possible after hair transplant surgery

I'm planning to get grade 1 gynecomastia surgery in Delhi but don't have anyone to accompany me on the day because of Covid. Do I really need someone with me for the procedure? Will the doctor refuse to operate if I come alone? I'm worried I might have to delay the surgery by a year if they don't allow me to go through with it solo.
surgery evaluation is advised.
