I was born with a very thick face and chin and have had it all my life despite never being overweight and living a healthy life. Now I'm 16 years old and have a slimmer face and chin, but I'm still quite fat in those places. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what causes this and if there is any effective way to remove it. I can also add that I was late into puberty with growth.
Answered on 4th Apr '24
Puberty after the age of sixteen combined with an insult to your hormones can cause fat to be collected in the body and face. Apart from this, a plastic surgeon might also inform the patient about options for losing weight in the targeted areas, however, before getting any such procedure it has to be ascertained that he or she doesn't have any underlying medical conditions.

Hence the discussion on the pros and cons of the breast reduction surgery should be made with a professional specialist before making a final decision.

I am a 21-year-old female in Pune. I have hypothyroidism, PCOD, and high blood insulin. I have been trying to lose weight for about 6 to 7 years now. I have tried cycling, working out, dieting, power yoga, walking, and badminton but nothing seems to help or work on my body. I am considering liposuction, what should I do?
Answered on 10th Feb '24
Liposuction is not the best option for treating hypothyroidism, PCOD, and high blood insulin. These comorbidities can act as a roadblock to weight loss, and a comprehensive treatment program including lifestyle modifications, nutritional changes, and medication may be best. Seek advice from an endocrinologist, gynecologist, and nutritionist to come up with a comprehensive plan that addresses your personal health needs.

How long after rhinoplasty can i sleep on my side?
Answered on 11th Jan '24
It’s usually recommended not to sleep on your side for the first few weeks after rhinoplasty. The reason for this is to prevent accidental pressure or movement that can affect the healing nasal structures. It is crucial to follow your surgeon’s set of postoperative care instructions as recovery times for individuals vary. Normally after the first weeks, you can slowly switch to sleeping on your side with consent of the surgeon. Elevating your head with extra pillows during sleep can help reduce swelling and promote a more smooth recovery. Never blindly follow the general advice given to rhinoplasty patients without consulting your surgeon because individualizing recommendations are important for your recovery
