I've noticed a small bony lump on my forehead that I think might be an osteoma who should I see to get it checked out and possibly removed? How risky or complicated is the procedure usually?

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 24–48 hours helps, especially for medications, food, and support. Arrange minimal chores post-op to avoid discomfort.

I'm considering liposuction but not sure if it's the right choice for me. What are the pros and cons of this procedure? Are there any risks I should know about before deciding? How do I know if I'm a good candidate for this surgery?
Liposuction, a cosmetic surgery, offers the potential to reshape body contours by removing stubborn fat deposits, but it's not a weight loss procedure and carries potential risks and complications. Pros: Improved Body Shape: Liposuction can enhance body contours, particularly in areas where fat is resistant to diet and exercise. Increased Self-Confidence: Improved appearance can boost self-esteem and confidence. Permanent Fat Cell Removal: Liposuction removes fat cells permanently, meaning they won't return if you gain weight. Targeted Fat Reduction: It can address specific areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips. Cons: Not a Weight Loss Solution: Liposuction primarily reshapes body contours and is not intended for significant weight loss. Risks and Complications: Possible risks include infection, bleeding, numbness, scarring, and uneven results or skin irregularities. Incomplete Fat Removal: Liposuction can't remove all fat in the treated area, and some fat may remain. Potential for Sagging Skin: If skin elasticity is poor, the skin may appear loose or sagging after liposuction.
