I am a woman of color. For the past several years I have been noticing that I look tired and have bags under my eyes. Do you think it would be safe for me to have facial surgery or am I more likely to scar because of my skin tone? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1302128.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1302128.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q. Recently, I had a consult with a surgeon for breast augmentation. I asked if he could do it endoscopically through my armpit and he said that he didn't recommend that approach because it could interfere with the detection and treatment of breast cancer. Is that true? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1269057.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1269057.html Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q. I just finished reading the book I Feel Bad About my Neck by Nora Ephron, and although I found it funny, I really do feel bad about how my neck is looking. I am 45 years old, attractive, active and I don't want to look older. What can I do to help my neck look better? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1245634.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1245634.html Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Q. I just heard that the FDA approved Sculptra for facial injections. Which product do you think is better, Sculptra or Botox? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1221958.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1221958.html Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Q. I'm in my late 30s and many of my friends are talking about the injections they've received to look younger. I'm new at this and don't have too much money to spend. Should I ask for a filler or a toxin? How do they differ? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1201382.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1201382.html Wed, 26 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT Q. I just came back from a reunion with my girlfriends. There was one friend of mine that looked particularly great. Her skin had no apparent wrinkles. When I asked her what surgery she had, she said that she just started to shave -- yes shave! What's that about? Is she telling the truth? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1180940.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1180940.html Wed, 12 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT Q: I am considering having cosmetic surgery and I started wondering: What would happen if I were unhappy with the results? Would I have to pay for the surgery again? How about the hospital and the anesthesiologist? And what would happen if I had a complication after surgery? Would my insurance cover the costs of hospitalization? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1130283.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1130283.html Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:01 EDT Q. I have one ear that sticks out more than the other ear. Is it possible to only correct the ear that is bothering me? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1109774.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1109774.html Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:01 EDT Q. I hope you can help me. I have one nipple that goes in instead of sticking out. I am embarrassed to wear tight shirts and I just don't like it. Is there anything I can do about it? http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1099402.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/carlos-wolf/story/1099402.html Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:01 EDT Q. I would like to have surgery on my face but I am scared I'll end up with that chasing-the-wind look. Do you always have to end up looking that way after facial plastic surgery? I do not want to age gracefully, but I don't want to look like I am scared stiff, either. Please let me know if there is hope for me.
