you will experience some residual swelling and bruising at the 6th week post tummy tuck. It is still necessary to refrain from vigorous exercise and heavy lifting during this period. In order to achieve full recovery and the best results, I suggest that you visit your plastic surgeon who conducted this operation.

Can you please tell me the minimum age of having a rhinoplasty? My daughter is 13. She had an accident at her school 5 years back. Her nose was fractured and the shape didn't get corrected. So we want to get this surgery done. But as she is too young, we are worried about the surgery. Is there any risk?
Minimum age to undergo Rhinoplasty is 18.
Complete growth of face occurs upto 18-21 yrs
As such there is no risk in surgery but better to wait

I just started taking prevention pills (mordette pills) and I want to start taking slimz cut (weight loss pills) would it be okay
Female | 18
Whenever you are mixing two different types of pills, you should be cautious. Mordette should be taken for protection and Slimz Cut for shedding off some extra pounds. It can be dangerous to use them together. There might be side effects due to the unknown interactions when pills are mixed without knowledge. It is recommended that you talk to a healthcare provider before taking any new drug.

I had an arm lift a year ago, and I'm a 35 year old woman. Wondering, how do arm lift scars look after 1 year? Just curious about the healing process.
Female | 35
Arm lift scars, as a medical professional would say, can take anywhere from one year or longer to completely heal and fade. But the ultimate look of scars may differ from person to another and is based on a patient’s skin type, as well as how closely they adhere to postoperative care guidelines. If you have any questions regarding the appearance or healing of your arm lift scars, it is advisable to speak with your surgeon. If necessary, you can go to a plastic surgeon who specializes in scar revision for additional assessment and management.

Tip of nose still swollen 1 year after rhinoplasty, what to do?
Female | 28
Experiencing some residual swelling at the tip of the nose one year after rhinoplasty can be normal in certain cases. While the majority of swelling typically subsides within the first few months following the procedure, it's not uncommon for minor swelling to persist, particularly in the tip area, for a longer period of time.
Several factors can contribute to the persistence of swelling at the tip of the nose after one year such as Skin thickness, Surgical technique used, etc. If you're experiencing persistent swelling at the tip of your nose one year after rhinoplasty, it's recommended to consult with your surgeon for an evaluation. They will be able to assess your condition, determine the cause of the swelling, and provide appropriate guidance. In the meantime, here are a few things you can consider:
- Follow-up appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and have a thorough examination. They will be able to determine if the swelling is a normal part of the healing process or if it requires further intervention.
- Be patient: Swelling after rhinoplasty can take a significant amount of time to completely resolve. It's not uncommon for residual swelling to persist for up to a year or even longer in some cases. Allow your body ample time to heal, as the final results of rhinoplasty can take several months to become fully apparent.
- Avoid trauma: Take care to protect your nose from any trauma or injury during the healing process. Even minor accidents can cause additional swelling or affect the final outcome of your rhinoplasty.
- Follow post-operative instructions: Ensure that you are following all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. This may include specific care for managing swelling, such as avoiding strenuous activities, refraining from excessive sun exposure, and avoiding certain medications that can increase swelling.
- Massage: Your surgeon may recommend gentle massage techniques to help reduce swelling at the tip of the nose. However, it's crucial to follow their specific instructions, as improper techniques or excessive force can have adverse effects.
- Consider corticosteroid injections: In some cases, your surgeon may recommend corticosteroid injections to help reduce persistent swelling. These injections can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Remember, the advice provided here is general, and it's important to consult with your surgeon for personalized guidance based on your unique situation.

Which laser treatment to opt for curing Pilonidal Sinus?
Diode laser treatment is required for Pilonidal Sinus. Actually Pilonidal Sinus can be treated surgically only. The cavity needs to be removed surgically otherwise the problem will reoccur. After the surgery has been done a diode laser will clear the hairs over the back portion and that will result into complete remission
