I don't get enough breath in my left nostril. I'm trying to stay healthy and do three miles of mild jogging three times a week. Would it make sense, at my age, to have the problem corrected? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/579636.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/579636.html Tue, 24 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Q: I recently had my 65th birthday. Within a couple of weeks I discovered a gift I did not want -- a sunken area on my left cheek at the lower inside part of my apple. Is this something that could be improved with Thermage? My right cheek is just beginning to show signs of the same problem. However, it is not as deep. Help! Just because I am 65 does not mean I am old. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/563316.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/563316.html Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Q: I would like to improve the appearance of my nose. Which injections would you recommend? I have heard that a substance called biopolymer works well. Are there any other materials that work well? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/546889.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/546889.html Tue, 27 May 2008 03:01 EDT Q: I am an African-American woman who is interested in having cosmetic surgery. I have heard that there is a greater chance of developing keloids after surgery. I am interested in having my eyes and nose done. What are your thoughts and should I worry? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/529656.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/529656.html Tue, 13 May 2008 03:01 EDT Q: What exactly is septo-rhinoplasty? A: We often hear medical terms and never really know what they are. Rhinoplasty is cosmetic surgery of the external part of the nose. It may be a closed or open rhinoplasty. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/512253.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/512253.html Tue, 29 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT Q: My grandson, who will turn 14 in January, was born with a cleft lip and had surgery at 4 months and again at 5 to correct the scar and his nose, which was too flat. Last September he had surgery to shape his nose, but now it looks wider and bigger. His doctor tells us that it will take about six months before we see the ultimate results. My daughter is thinking he should have his nose done again. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/494831.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/494831.html Tue, 15 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT Q: I have been hearing and reading about the 18-year-old who died while undergoing breast surgery. Can you tell me in ''basic English'' what you think happened? I have a daughter who is having cosmetic surgery and I'd like some peace of mind. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/476697.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/476697.html Tue, 01 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT Q: I had Bell's palsy and my face is now asymmetrical. It seems to be more noticeable as I get older. What are my options? I really don't want surgery. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/459509.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/459509.html Tue, 18 Mar 2008 03:01 EDT Q: I want to get rid of some loose skin in my arms, but the surgeon recommended an operation that would leave a gigantic scar from elbow to armpit. Is there an alternative? I want to wear short-sleeve shirts again! http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/441791.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/441791.html Tue, 04 Mar 2008 03:01 EST Q: I had a face-lift and eyelid surgery last June. The left side of my face is fine. The inside of my right brow raises slightly. My right eyelid does not close when I try to blink. When looking straight and moving the eye downward, the lid will follow. I do not have any control of my right eye or brow when I hold down the left side and try to raise the right side. My mouth was drooped but has somewhat come back. My doctor said everything will be back to normal, but it might take a year. I'm freaking... http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/423133.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/423133.html Tue, 19 Feb 2008 03:01 EST Q: I am a healthy 41-year-old woman. I want to desperately get rid of a tiny lower belly and smooth out little bulges on my thighs. I've heard that traditional lipo makes your skin sag. Lasers, I've been told, cause fat to be dissolved under the skin and then sucked out or dissolved completely and released through the lymphatic system. What is your professional opinion? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/405347.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/405347.html Tue, 05 Feb 2008 03:01 EST Q: I'm a teenager considering rhinoplasty to refine my large nose. Is there such a thing as my face actually growing to the point where it matches the size/shape of my nose?
