I've struggled with deep acne scars on my cheeks for years and nothing has worked not even fractional CO2 laser treatments. Would plastic surgery be an option to restore my cheeks? I'm really desperate at this point and just want to know if there's any hope for improvement.

Yes, plastic surgery can be an option for improving the appearance of deep acne scars, especially after other treatments like fractional CO2 laser treatments have not yielded satisfactory results. While scars cannot be completely removed, plastic surgery techniques can significantly improve their appearance by resurfacing or grafting tissue.

My breasts are sagging and I really don't want surgery are there any other treatments that can help firm and lift them naturally? I'm worried about the results and looking for non-surgical options.

While non-surgical solutions can improve breast appearance and provide some lift, they won't fully reverse sagging. Here's what can be done: 1. Strengthening the Underlying Muscles: Chest exercises: Push-ups, dumbbell flyes, and other chest-focused workouts can strengthen the pectoral muscles, providing better support for the breasts. Improve posture: Maintaining good posture can help support the breasts and reduce the appearance of sagging. 2. Boosting Skin Elasticity: Topical treatments: Creams or oils containing retinol, peptides, or vitamin E can help improve skin elasticity and potentially reduce the appearance of sagging. Laser treatments: Laser treatments can tighten the skin, potentially lifting and improving the shape of the breasts. 3. Other Non-Surgical Options: Bra selection: An underwired bra can provide support and lift, especially for those who prefer a natural look.

Can I get surgery to reshape my forehead? I had an accident as a kid that changed my skull shape, and now my forehead looks uneven and unnatural. It really bothers me are there any procedures to fix this?

Skull reshaping may be performed surgically or via the use of helmets. In adults, skull reshaping by reshaping of the skull bones is not possible due to the inherent risks of blood loss. As such, skull reshaping in adults is mainly performed via the use of custom-made implants.
