I've noticed a small lipoma on my forehead that's been growing over time and is now pretty noticeable. It doesn't hurt but bothers me cosmetically. Can you tell me roughly how much surgical removal might cost and whether it could come back after surgery? Also would there be any visible scars left behind?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Lipoma removal costs ₹10,000–₹25,000; recurrence is rare, and minor scarring is possible depending on location.

View allI'm 20 years old but my breast size is small and I feel like I look much younger, more like 14 or 15. Honestly, it's making me feel pretty self-conscious because a lot of girls my age seem to have bigger breasts. I feel like I don't look mature. Is there a way I can enlarge my breasts?
This is completely depends on individual's growth variability and hormonal function. You should not feel like so, that you are not mature if your other hormonal functions are well and good. Be stress free and take proper diet.

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.

I'm only 18 but I've put on so much fat around my thighs and love handles that I look way older than I am. No matter what I try, diet or exercise, nothing seems to work. Since my job requires me to maintain a certain appearance, I'm considering liposuction. Can you tell me about the costs and potential side effects of the procedure?
It's understandable to feel self-conscious about body changes, especially at 18. Love handles and thigh fat can make you feel less confident and even older. However, it's important to remember that body shapes and sizes vary naturally, and there are healthy ways to address these concerns. Focusing on overall health and well-being can lead to positive changes and help you feel more confident in your own skin.
