my left hand got caught in a machine and three fingers were completely cut off - is there any chance surgery could fix this or is it too late

Yes, there's a chance surgery, specifically a replantation, could reattach your severed fingers, but it's crucial to act quickly. The success of replantation depends on several factors, including the time elapsed since the injury and the extent of damage.

I've been told that lipomas can't be treated with just meds and mine is right in the middle of my forehead. The doc mentioned surgery could be risky are there any other options I could explore?

Lipomas on the forehead typically require surgery, but if your doctor is concerned about the risks, other options like liposuction or steroid injections could be discussed. A second opinion could help clarify if surgery is necessary.

I've been having some issues after using oil injections, and now I've got these lumps on my buttocks. I got an ultrasound done, and they said the lumps arent in the muscle but in the subcutaneous area. One lump is 31.5 cm on the left and the other is 61.5 cm on the right. It's been about a year now, and I'm really worried about them. What should I do to get rid of these lumps? How can I treat them?

it sounds like you may be experiencing lipomas, which are non-cancerous growths of fat cells. In your case, since the lumps are located in the subcutaneous area of your buttocks and have been present for a year, it is advisable to consider surgical removal as a treatment option. The brand name medication that can be prescribed to help with the pain and inflammation is ibuprofen, 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed. However, for the lump itself, the definitive treatment would be surgical excision. I recommend consulting with a surgeon for further evaluation and to discuss the possibility of surgical removal of the lipomas.

I'm still young and unmarried but have larger breasts than I'd like. I've heard about VLCC cream for firming but I'm worried about side effects. Since I can't consider surgery right now, are there any safe creams or treatments to reduce breast size naturally?

While creams may offer some firming, they're unlikely to significantly reduce breast size naturally. Focus on a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and consider non-surgical options like lymphatic drainage massage, which may help with lymphatic flow and reduce fluid buildup.
