There continues to be confusion surrounding the different types of silicone implants, specifically regarding what is and what is not a "cohesive" or "gummy" implant.

Lip augmentation surgery is not a new procedure to me or Dr. Wolfe. But we have been less than satisified with previous permanent lip augmentation options including the commonly …

Women’s skin tends to show age a bit sooner than do men’s …
Read MoreDear Heather: I'm thinking about personal training, but I'm not sure if I should go that route or do aerobic classes at the gym as a way to lose weight. Can you give me some insight? Suzie M. Dear Suzie: As we age, our metabolism slows down, which can lead to larger belt sizes and …
