Yes, reconstructive surgery is an option to restore tongue and jawbone after cancer removal. In India, several skilled surgeons specialize in microvascular reconstruction, which is often used to rebuild these areas. It's crucial to consult with a head and neck surgeon and a reconstructive surgeon who can assess your uncle's specific case and recommend the best approach.

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.
