My mom accidentally cut her finger tip clean off at the nail while using a mixer. We went to Apollo and they're recommending flap surgery - is this really necessary or could it heal on its own? The cut is on her index finger and went all the way to the nail bed.

Had gynecomastia surgery but there's still fat left in my chest area. The incision and excision method wasn't used and now the fat seems to be increasing every day. Why is this happening and what can be done about it?

It's possible for gynecomastia surgery to leave some residual fat, and the feeling of increased fat can be due to several factors, including swelling, scar tissue, and the way the skin has settled. While the surgery itself removes the breast tissue and fat cells, there can be some fat left behind, and the remaining fat cells can increase in size if there are changes in your diet or activity levels.

My forehead's middle part started to grow about 10 years ago. Back then it was normal, but around 5 years ago it suddenly started growing, and now, thankfully, it's stopped. The growth is mostly on the anterior wall, though my skull hasn't shifted or anything like that. It's not causing me any issues, but honestly, I'm really bothered by how it looks and I want to fix it. What can I do about this?

Usually that could be Lipoma ,but detailed evaluation is required,visit surgeon for appropriate management
