My breasts are getting bigger like a woman's, and I'm worried about it. Is surgery the only option for male breast reduction? What are the possible side effects of the surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
No, surgery isn't the only option for male breast reduction (gynecomastia). While surgery, like liposuction and mastectomy, is a common and effective treatment, other approaches like addressing underlying medical conditions or lifestyle changes (exercise and diet) can also help. Surgery does carry some risks, including infection, bleeding, and changes in sensation

View allMy mom has been living with neurofibromatosis type 1 for over a decade. She had plastic surgery on her face, but only a few moles could be removed the rest are too small or deep. Where should I take her for proper surgery or any other effective treatment options?
For proper management of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), especially with regard to facial neurofibromas, your mom should seek care from a multidisciplinary team, including a geneticist, dermatologist, and potentially a plastic surgeon specializing in NF1. Other treatment options may include medication and radiation therapy. A neurofibroma clinic or a hospital with a strong NF1 program would be ideal.

I have scars with a tattoo over them on my forearm and want to get rid of both. A doctor told me laser tattoo removal won't fix the scars would plastic surgery work for this? I'm worried about how effective it'll be and if it's the right option.
Plastic surgery may help revise scars and remove tattoos, but effectiveness varies—consult a plastic surgeon for realistic expectations.
