My son was born 8 months premature and has cleft lips along with a hole in his palate. He's getting discharged from NICU in 2 days how long should I wait before getting his cleft surgery done? Who should I consult for the operation should I go for plastic surgery or would just stitches work? Also, would Surat or Mumbai be better for the surgery?

Cleft lip/palate repair starts at 3–6 months—see a pediatric plastic surgeon in Mumbai.

View alli'm an 18-year-old guy dealing with gynecomastia and feeling pretty self-conscious about it. is surgery the only option to fix this? also, how much would the procedure usually cost?
Gynecomastia usually goes away without medical treatment. The breasts flatten out within a few months to a couple of years. If gynecomastia is very severe, there is medicine that can help. And if gynecomastia lasts past puberty, surgery can reduce the size of the breasts.

I'm 23 years old and pretty slim, and I'm wondering if there's a way to naturally increase my breast size without surgery. Are there any specific exercises, natural techniques, or changes in my diet that could help?
While significant breast growth after 23 is unlikely, some natural methods may help enhance breast appearance or slightly increase size; try push-ups, chest presses, and breast-enhancing yoga poses (e.g., Cobra, Cat-Cow) to tone underlying muscles; also, consider incorporating estrogen-boosting foods like soybeans, flaxseeds, and sesame seeds into your diet
