I would like to have breast reduction surgery but I hear that there is obvious scarring after? I am very conscious of my heavy bust, which also causes my neck and back to ache. I would really like to have the procedure. How much will it cost and is a procedure like this covered by insurance?

I would like to restore the volume I used to have in my cheeks. I have heard that fillers are a good option. How much will this cost and how often will I need to have the procedure repeated? What about the option of implants? Will that restore lost volume or is it exclusively to have higher cheekbones?

I had eye bag removal and nose augmentation surgery about three weeks ago, but my eyes are still puffy and the tip of my nose looks big. Is this normal and how long will it take before I see the final result of my procedures?

I had a baby a year ago, and since then, my breasts have become soft and saggy, probably due to breastfeeding. What can I do to enhance my bust so that it can go back to what it used to be? Are there any side effects and risks?

I underwent buccal fat pad removal surgery a year ago in China. My face was fat, but I regret having had the procedure now. Is there anything I can do to restore my face to what it was before?

I have heard of using fillers to augment the nose and chin. Is this possible? What can you tell me about this – are there any risks involved? Also, is it advisable that I opt for temporary or permanent fillers? I would like a higher nose bridge and a squarer chin.

I was involved in an accident five months ago and it left me with a very horrible scar on my right cheek and my chin. The scar is hard and the doctor says he can’t perform surgery on me because of this. He says that laser surgery won’t take my scar away but will make the scar worse and much bigger. What can I do to make these ugly scars disappear?

About 15 years ago I had eye bag surgery to remove the fat below my eyes. The doctor said then that the problem might redevelop – and it did. My eye bags are back and this makes my eyes look rather heavy. I constantly look tired and sleepy – I also have dark circles under my eyes. I am trying to avoid surgery if possible. Is there an alternative solution? I have tried all sorts of eye lotions, serums, and creams but nothing seems to work.

I’m a mother of two and my body is not what it used to be. I used to be a C-cup, but now my breasts are quite deflated. I also have loose skin around my belly.
I do not like my nose and want to have it augmented.
I'm a 25-year-old male and have noticed that no matter how much exercise I do, I cannot develop my pectoral muscles and my chest seems more like a woman. I don’t have big breasts, but small buds, and was wondering why this is and what I could do about my problem?

I have eyebags. Though the standard procedure seems to be surgical blepharoplasty and its variants, I have a few questions:
- What are my options if I want to
consider non-invasive forms of therapy? - Can you give me a summary of the pros and cons of each treatment?

I am thinking of having breast augmentation. However I have some doubts.
- Can a person who is anaemic and on hypertension drugs undergo breast augmentation?
- Can a patient go for an X-ray if required?
