Answered by Shweta Kumari

Mini Tummy Tuck is a surgical procedure where an incision is made a few inches below the navel or along your bikini line to tighten the area of the stomach between your belly button and the pubic area.
The incision length is approximately 6-12 inches shorter than the full tummy tuck.
Only 20% of those who previously got a tummy tuck are good candidates.
Mini Tummy Tuck is better than Tummy Tuck in the following ways:
If you have fat in your lower abdomen go for a mini Tummy Tuck, but if you have excess fatty tissue above your belly, then it is suitable to opt for a Traditional tummy Tuck.
Recovery time is less because the surgery is not that extensive because the abdominal muscle is not tight.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir

Female | 4

Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.

I have facial hair growth over both chin and upper lip. Its because of hormonal imbalance my DHEA level is 180. So may i know if laser hair removal will help get rid of this facial hair growth.

Female | 29

Laser hair removal can be an effective way to remove unwanted facial hair. But it is important to discuss any hormonal imbalances with your doctor before beginning a treatment plan. Laser hair removal may not be the best option for you if your DHEA level is high as this could lead to an increased risk of side effects. Your doctor may suggest other options such as oral medications, topical creams, or electrolysis.

I have low breast size i feel so insecure can any pills can increase my breast size .iam 19 years old

Female | 19

At 19, your body is still developing, and breasts can still get bigger until your early 20s. No, there are no pills or drugs that are capable of increasing the size of the breasts in any considerable way. It is necessary to understand that the size of the breast is defined mainly by the genetic factors and the hormones of the body.

What would be the average cost for a breast augmentation procedure for a 26 year old woman with tuberous breasts? While the left breast is fully formed, the right breast does not have full tissue under it. The difference isn’t great, but noticeable unless wearing a padded bra. Probably a 16/20 difference, if I had to say. Looking to operate on both breasts to have least noticeable difference, with the most natural feeling implants and look. Preferably teardrop implants

Female | 26

Hi ,

she will require breast augmentation with silicone implant on less developed side and reduction mammoplasty on opposite side to achieve symmetry. Physical consultation is required for further opinion.

Cost of these procedures will be around 2 lac Rs.
