My 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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI have really large breasts and they make me feel super uncomfortable all the time. Is there any way to reduce their size naturally without going through surgery? I've heard about exercises or diet changes but not sure if they actually work. What would you recommend for someone like me who wants to avoid surgery but still reduce breast size?
Cardio exercises like running, brisk walking, and cycling help burn fat—everywhere, including your chest. Add strength training (especially pushups and dumbbell presses) to tighten up. Cut back on sodium, sugar, and saturated fats.

i have gynecomastia and i'm considering surgery but i'm worried about safety and whether my chest skin will become loose after the procedure
Gynecomastia surgery is generally safe; if skin elasticity is good, it tightens post-surgery—if not, minor skin tightening or revision may be needed.
